Tottenham coasted to a comfortable 4-1 win over Newcastle as Ange Postecoglou’s side ended their five-match winless run.

Goals from Destiny Udogie and Richarlison saw the home side ahead at the break after a relentless display against the injury-ravaged visitors.

Richarlison added a third after the break before Son Heung-Min got in the act from the penalty spot after he was brought down by Martin Dubravka.

Joelinton’s injury-time finish secured a consolation goal for Eddie Howe’s side who remain seventh after two back-to-back defeats.

71 mins: That third goal has just taken the sting out of the third half. Newcastle have been run ragged at points in this game and just look devoid of inspiration right now.

63 mins: CHANCES! So close to a fourth from Spurs who are rampant again. Johnson’s initial effort stays out having clipped the inside off the post before Son fires across the face of goal at the back post just moments later.

GOAL! Tottenham 3-0 Newcastle (Richarlison, 60 mins)

Richarlison at the double!

Newcastle have been good this second half but it’s the home side who have the crucial third goal in this game. The Brazillian does superbly to bring down Porro’s searching ball inside the box, controlling it well before finishing under Dubravka.

A smile from Postecoglou on the sideline - he knows how important that goal is.
