Tottenham endured an awful Sunday afternoon on Tyneside as they were beaten 6-1 by Newcastle which saw their hopes of securing Champions League qualification take a significant blow. Not only would Spurs now have to overturn a six-point deficit to both the Magpies and Manchester United, but the setback came about in highly embarrassing fashion.
Within 61 seconds the visitors were behind after Jacob Murphy was the first to react to Joelinton's close-range effort. The Brazilian also got in on the act moments later with Murphy adding his second before the contest had even reached the 10-minute mark.
Alexander Isak then scored twice in the space of two minutes to put Newcastle five in front after 21 minutes. Harry Kane pulled one back for Spurs in the second half, but Callum Wilson added goal number six with still over 20 minutes to play.
