Tottenham player ratings vs Newcastle with Son farewell, Maddison injury fear and Gray exciting

Tottenham drew 1-1 with Newcastle United in a pre-season friendly in South Korea and here are our player ratings from the encounter.

The match is likely to be Son Heung-min's final game for Spurs after it emerged that the Korean star would be exiting the north London club after telling new head coach Frank that he wished to go. The Spurs captain later confirmed the news at a press conference in Seoul with MLS side LAFC progressing in talks with Tottenham to sign Son.

So this pre-season fixture against Newcastle looked to be the final time the former Golden Boot-winner plays for the north London club and he did so in front of 66,000 of his country's fans inside the Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Spurs opened the scoring just three minutes in when Frank's side pressed high up the pitch and won the ball back with Kevin Danso sliding in Brennan Johnson to hit a fine finish into the bottom left corner. Tottenham had a big chance to score a second when Mathys Tel ran through alone only to have his effort saved by Nick Pope.

Newcastle did break and equalise themselves before the break. Anthony Gordon found Harvey Barnes and he hit a rocket of a shot off the left-hand post with Antonin Kinsky beaten at his near post.

Both sides had half-chances in the second half but it was all about the final moments in a Spurs shirt of Son. Around the 66th minute, Frank made a separate substitution to bring the captain off. The game stopped and his team-mates all came over to embrace their tearful skipper before forming a guard of honour for him to come off the pitch. Then all the Spurs substitutes and staff hugged him on the touchline.

There was bad news though for Tottenham a little while later as James Maddison went down off the ball in the final minutes with a knee injury and needed to be stretchered off.

Here are our Spurs player ratings from the game:

Antonin Kinsky

Made a good punch in a crowded box just after the half hour mark. Was beaten at his near post by Barnes though for Newcastle's equaliser. 5

Pedro Porro

Beaten to a header in his box by Joelinton that flashed just wide before having a curling free-kick saved by Pope at the other end. Hit a beautiful crossfield pass to Son that led to a blocked shot from the captain. Couldn't stop Barnes' goal but did manage to block his next effort. Came off at half-time. 6

Kevin Danso

Played a good pass into the path of Johnson for an early assist. Fluffed an early block and let Gordon get in for what could have been a goal. 7

Cristian Romero

Dealt well with Gordon on a couple of occasions and got involved in a clash in the box late in the half. Came off at the break. 7

Ben Davies

Plenty of energy but struggled at times to stop Newcastle getting down his flank. Came off not long after his best friend Son. 6

Rodrigo Bentancur

Started the game like a well-oiled machine and never looked rushed or hassled on the ball. Only played the first half but was very good. 8

Archie Gray

Really promising display from the midfielder despite a clash of heads, with some good runs, passes and dribbling. He kept it up in the second half before coming off. 8

Pape Matar Sarr

Playing as the number 10, the Senegal international had an early shot saved by Pope. He left space in behind him at times though by pushing too far up. Moved into the centre for the second half and played solidly enough. 6

Brennan Johnson

Opened the scoring with a terrific low finish inside the left-hand post and was a threat down the right with his movement. 7

Mathys Tel

Should have scored Spurs' second after running clear through but after a couple of stepovers, the Frenchman's shot was saved by Pope. Plenty of work but should have done so much better with that chance. 5

Son Heung-min

The man of the moment and he got involved in plenty of the action without quite finding the final product. Showed plenty of glimpses of the skill he's brought Spurs over the years. We're dispensing with tradition here and we're rating him for his time at Spurs rather than this hour or so goodbye. 10

Subs

Lucas Bergvall

A tidy second half and was one of the better players in a 45 minutes that mostly lost its flow as a game. 7

Micky van de Ven

Solid enough at the back after replacing Romero at the break. 7

Djed Spence

Got up and down the right as much as possible. 6

Yves Bissouma

Some very good moments and a couple of sloppy ones in the middle. 6

Richarlison

Worked hard up top during his 25 minutes or so. 6

Mohammed Kudus

Had one exciting dribble after replacing Son. 6

Wilson Odobert

Brought some zip down the left after coming on. N/A

James Maddison

Was trying to get his rhythm when that concerning injury happened off the ball. N/A

Luka Vuskovic

Slotted in at the back for the final minutes. N/A

Yang Min-hyeok

A bright little cameo in the final minutes in front of the South Korean fans. N/A
