Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today.

In the battle for the top four and a Champions League spot for next term, this fixture could prove pivotal with the teams fourth and fifth respectively ahead of kick-off. Barring an absolute drubbing for the hosts that’s how they’ll finish the day too, but Spurs will want to make up ground with a win given the Magpies have a game in hand still.

Defeat last time out for Eddie Howe’s side came in the shape of a surprise 3-0 beating at Aston Villa, while Spurs again showed their fragility with a 3-2 home loss to Bournemouth.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Tottenham were embarrasing in the first half and are simply playing for pride, if they can even salvage that. It is certainly a day to forget for Cristian Stellini and his team.

Newcastle scored five goals inside 21 minutes to to take a dominant 5-0 lead into the break against Tottenham. The Magpies were relentless and took the lead after 62 seconds when Jacob Murphy turned home a strike on the rebound. Joelinton got a deserved second three minutes later before a Murphy stunner made it three inside 10 minutes. Alexander Isak then took his turn to torment the visitors, collecting a sublime Joe Willock pass to notch his first before he slotted an effort past Hugo Lloris to cap an incredible opening burst from the hosts to put them on course for a statement win.
