Liverpool consolidated their place in the Premier League top four as they coasted to a comfortable victory after breaking Newcastle's brief resistance.
With five minutes left of a wasteful first half for the home side, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain drove through Newcastle's lines and played in Mohamed Salah for the forward's 24th goal of the league season.
With no real outlet in attack, the Magpies were under constant pressure and buckled again when Sadio Mane swept the home side further ahead from Roberto Firmino's pass - the 200th top-flight goal under manager Jurgen Klopp.
The win moves the Reds above Manchester United into second place - at least until their rivals play at Crystal Palace on Monday.
The gap to leaders Manchester City is 15 points, with Pep Guardiola's side in action at home to Chelsea on Sunday.
Tottenham vs Huddersfield
Spurs are a point behind third-placed Manchester United, who play at Crystal Palace on Monday, and two behind Liverpool, who moved into second with a 2-0 home win over Newcastle.
Jonas Lossl had already denied Harry Kane when Son rounded the Huddersfield keeper to score after Dele Alli's excellent pass sliced open the visitors' defence.
Spurs were denied a penalty by stand-in referee Kevin Friend after Son was grabbed around the waist by defender Terence Kongolo.
Huddersfield substitute Tom Ince forced Hugo Lloris into a fine save before Son's header, after a sumptuous cross by Kane, secured Pochettino his 100th Premier League win as a manager in 197 games.
