Jamie Carragher has hailed 'brilliant' Newcastle United for a devastating first-half display against Tottenham but has slammed the visitors as 'disgraceful'. Eddie Howe's side blitzed their top-four rivals with an astonishing opening 21 minutes, netting five times.
Jacob Murphy kicked off proceedings after only two minutes, pouncing on a rebound at the Leazes End. Joelinton doubled this lead only four minutes' later, rounding Hugo Lloris following a superb pass from Fabian Schar.
Murphy grabbed his second of the game after nine minutes, emphatically beating Lloris from distance. Alexander Isak then got in on the act with a quickfire brace, first latching on to a stunning pass from Joe Willock to score before adding the team's fifth with an effort inside the box.
