Antonio Conte hailed Harry Kane’s ‘amazing’ performance after Tottenham’s 5-1 win over Newcastle on Sunday. The Spurs striker didn’t score but did provide an assist for Matt Doherty’s header which gave them a 2-1 lead shortly after half time.
Fabian Schar had put the Magpies in front in the 39th minute, but the home side drew level moments later through Ben Davies. Goals from Son Heung-min, Emerson Royal and Steven Bergwijn sealed arguably the most complete display of Conte’s reign.
The win lifted Spurs up to fourth in the table, however, they’re level on points with fifth placed Arsenal. And their north London rivals will reclaim the coveted final Champions League spot with a win or draw at Crystal Palace on Monday night.
