Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Newcastle take a huge stride towards securing Champions League football with an outstanding performance to defeat Tottenham 6-1 at St James' Park. The Magpies did the damage in an incredible 21-minute spell in the first half, scoring five goals. Jacob Murphy got his side on their way by converting a rebound before Joelinton notched a second. Murphy scored a stunner from distance to notch Newcastle's third within nine minutes. Alexander Isak found the net twice in two minutes to pour on the agony for the visitors. Harry Kane got a goal back early in the second half for Spurs, but Callum Wilson restored the five-goal advantage with his first touch to ensure that the Magpies ended the game on a high note.
