Spurs played attacking since the early minutes by relying on the trio of Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski, but failed to penetrate Martin Dubravka's goal.
Newcastle relied on a counter-attack and paid off in the 39th minute when Fabian Schar found Hugo Lloris' goal with a free kick in front of the penalty box.
Spurs had protested the goal because the ball was considered first to touch Chris Wood's hand, but VAR made sure the score was 1-0.
Spurs needed just four minutes to equalize when Ben Davies got his name on the scoresheet after heading home from Son Heung-min's cross which Dubravka couldn't keep out.
Spurs took a 2-1 lead in the 48th minute when Javi Manquillo's cross was cut out by Dejan Kulusevski for Kane.
The England forward quickly crossed in a cross that Son couldn't reach, but Doherty quickly grabbed it to find Dubravka.
