A second-half downfall was Newcastle United's downfall against Tottenham Hotspur and the Match of The Day 2 pundits, Ian Wright and Nedum Onuoha have dissected what went wrong for Eddie Howe's side. The Magpies were resilient in the opening 45 minutes and went in level at the break having led through Fabian Schar's free-kick.
A second-half capitulation, caused by a lack of defensive runners and a desire to chase the game, were behind Newcastle's drubbing in North London, according to the former Premier League duo. Harry Kane ran riot as Antonio Conte's side climbed into the top four.
As for Newcastle, the result leaves them nine points above the relegation zone, but know their work is far from complete. Onuoha was full of praise for the Magpies first-half performance.
