Jacob Murphy has explained his wide-eyed celebration to his second goal was in 'shock' at Newcastle United's lightning start against Tottenham. The winger netted twice and grabbed the Magpies' third in the opening nine minutes at St James' Park as Eddie Howe's side registered an incredible 6-1 win over their top-four rivals.
Murphy has enjoyed a run in the starting eleven due to Miguel Almiron's recent injury, and kept his place in the side as Sean Longstaff replaced Anthony Gordon in the only change from the defeat at Aston Villa. The former Norwich City star rewarded Howe for his show of faith with a brace in the first 10 minutes, opening the scoring after pouncing on a rebound in the six-yard box.
Joelinton doubled the lead shortly after by rounding Hugo Lloris, before Murphy made a dream start even better with an impressive strike from range. The cameras zoomed in on the 28-year-old, who seemingly could not believe he had already grabbed his second of the match.
