Jamie O’Hara believes Newcastle United have a better starting line-up than Tottenham Hotspur aside from Harry Kane and Heung-min Son. Last week, the Magpies schooled Spurs in their own backyard to claim their biggest scalp to date under Eddie Howe.
Goals from Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron humiliated Antonio Conte’s side and evoked belief among Toon supporters that European football can be achieved this season. As it stands, Newcastle are in fourth spot - an astonishing feat given the club’s fate 12 months ago.
This time last year, United were managerless, winless and staring into the abyss of Premier League relegation. Shrewd recruitment and hard work on the training pitch has elevated Newcastle to new heights.
