Newcastle United served up a sensational performance as they hammered Tottenham Hotspur 6-1 at St James' Park.
And after Jacob Murphy's early strike, Joelinton, Murphy again and two from Alexander Isak (2) piled on the agony for the London side.
Harry Kane did pull one back for Spurs after the break but Callum Wilson put the lid on the game with the sixth for the home team.
