Newcastle humiliate Spurs to close on top-four spot

Alexander Isak took his tally to 10 goals this season

Newcastle United humiliated Tottenham Hotspur with five goals in 21 stunning first-half minutes as they ran out easy winners at St James' Park.

Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak each scored twice and Joelinton added another as Newcastle scythed through a fragile visiting defence lacking confidence from last week's defeat against Bournemouth.

The embarrassing defeat is a significant blow to Spurs' dwindling Champions League hopes while the victory puts the Magpies in a commanding position as they climb to third. (BBC)
