Tottenham Hotspur did their chances of Champions League football little harm on Sunday evening as they swept Newcastle United aside 5-1 in north London. Fabian Schar had given the visitors the lead before the break with a deflected free-kick but saw Ben Davies cancel out his strike soon after.
Antonio Conte ’s men were then relentless after the break as Matt Doherty and Son Heung-Min found the net before Emerson Royal opened his goal-scoring account for the club. Steven Bergwijn had enough time after coming off the bench to also get in on the act as Spurs rounded off an eye-catching win.
Whilst the win will satisfy, surely the biggest victory from the day is Spurs moving into the top four of the Premier League for the first time under Conte - heaping pressure on north London rivals Arsenal against Crystal Palace on Monday.
