Newcastle United suffered a third consecutive defeat in the Premier League as they were hammered 5-1 by Tottenham Hotspur in North London. The Magpies had taken the lead five minutes before the break courtesy of Fabian Schar’s free-kick but were pegged back almost instantly as Ben Davies headed in Heung-min Son’s corner.
Eddie Howe’s side then seemingly fell apart in the opening minutes of the second half as they found the game beyond them 10 minutes after the interval thanks to goals from Matt Doherty and Son. Emerson Royal and Steven Bergwijn later compounded a miserable afternoon for Newcastle as they added to Spurs’ tally with neat finishes from inside the area.
Newcastle remain nine points clear of the bottom three despite the defeat but have dropped down to 15 th position following the weekend’s results after Brentford’s shock 4-1 win at Chelsea. Here is how supporters have reacted to the result.
