Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez admits Tottenham matchwinner Son Heung-min was the difference in their 1-0 defeat.
The South Korean marked his first game back from international duty with the equalising goal in the midweek win over Watford and came up with the goods again as he scored in the 83rd minute to break the Magpies' resistance at Wembley.
Benitez said, "I think we did well in the first half and we had chances in the beginning of the second half. They were pushing hard, we were defending well and this goal we could've avoided.
"We have to give credit to Son because the shot was a good one and we hit the post in the second half, that was a big chance for us. You have to give credit to Tottenham because they have injuries. It was not easy for us."
