Here is what the national media are saying about Newcastle United's 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Newcastle United are finally 'moving forward'
Writing for BBC Sport, Neil Johnston wrote: "Newcastle's season continues to go from strength to strength.
"The 2-1 win at Tottenham lifted Eddie Howe's side into a Champions League spot - the first time they have been in the top four of the Premier League table with as many as 12 games played since April 2012.
"Sunday was a big examination of Newcastle's credentials and they passed with flying colours. Six months earlier they had crashed to a 5-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but Newcastle's Class of 2022-23 are hard-to-beat, efficient and well organised.
"Past Newcastle teams might have crumbled after Harry Kane provided Spurs with a lifeline early in the second half. But Howe's team showed spirit and determination to get the job done in north London.
"Howe will keep his players grounded, but excitement among the fans is growing. And rightly so. After years of decline, Newcastle are moving forward."
The Magpies look to be 'a team here to stay'
Writing for the Guardian, John Brewin wrote: "How high might Newcastle’s ceiling be? Victory at third-placed Tottenham lifted them into the Premier League’s top four.
"With winnable fixtures against Aston Villa and Southampton before a pre-World Cup showdown with Chelsea, Newcastle can be solidly in the Champions League shakeup when they head off for that Saudi winter training camp taken for “football reasons”.
"What a difference a change of ownership, a year and £200m‑odd of transfer spending has already made. Deservedly beating opponents over whom they had prevailed once in 10 matches since 2016 registered as a statement win.
"It is 11 years since they were in such a high position at this stage of a season. Draws with the Manchester clubs, being unlucky losers at Liverpool and this result suggest a team here to stay."
Eddie Howe's side are now a 'genuine threat to the cabal'
Writing for the Daily Mail, Martin Samuel said: "Shortly after Newcastle’s second went in, fork lightning split the night sky and loud claps of thunder echoed around the Tottenham Stadium.
"At that moment, upstart Newcastle were fourth, where they remained at the end of the game, and plainly the gods of Big Six entitlement – those Super League break away clubs, who seem to think it is their divine right to share football’s riches and prizes – were not happy. It was more pathetic defending than pathetic fallacy, but you get the idea.
"This isn’t meant to happen. Not so soon, anyway. Newcastle’s win yanked Chelsea out of the top four places and dumped them in fifth, and left Eddie Howe and his players peering down at Manchester United and Liverpool, too.
"They are two points behind Tottenham and while Arsenal and Manchester City will take some catching and have a game in hand, this was a win of great maturity and potential. Newcastle are a genuine threat to the cabal, make no mistake of that."
Newcastle are 'barely recognisable' after Howe takeover
Ben Grounds wrote for Sky Sports : "Newcastle may just be on to something.
"Unbeaten in seven games, they have lost only once all season and have conceded the fewest goals in the division, testament not only to their new-found spending power, but also the transformation they have undergone on the pitch under head coach Eddie Howe.
"Newcastle end the day in fourth position in the Premier League - it is the first time they have been in the top four of the table with as many as 12 games played since April 2012.
"Having been in charge for nearly a year, this side is barely recognisable to the one Howe inherited, with the Magpies arriving in north London with just one league defeat to their name, a dramatic loss at Liverpool at the end of August.
"With three wins in their four previous games shooting Newcastle up to sixth place in the table, Howe called on his side to be a nightmare to play against on Sunday in order to cement their elevated status - and they doubled their lead in clinical fashion."
