Newcastle produced a masterclass performance against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, beating the London side 6-1 to tighten their top-four grip.
Newcastle United’s Brazilian striker Joelinton is mobbed by teammates after scoring the team’s second goal during the English Premier League football match between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur at St James’ Park in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, north east England on April 23, 2023. Tottenham’s bid to qualify for the Champions League suffered a hammer blow as they conceded five times in the first 21 minutes of a humiliating 6-1 defeat at top four rivals Newcastle on Sunday.
Fifth placed Tottenham host United on Thursday and a defeat against Erik ten Hag’s team would surely end their faint hopes of salvaging their troubled campaign.There is a bleak future ahead for Tottenham, who have no permanent manager lined up for next season and no director of football after Fabio Paratici’s resignation on Friday.
Conte had exposed the rifts behind the scenes at Tottenham when he called the players “selfish” and criticised the club’s culture in an explosive rant after their draw at lowly Southampton.Tottenham haven’t won a major trophy since 2008 and their latest setback could increase the chances of England striker Harry Kane asking to leave in the close-season.
They took just 61 seconds to put Tottenham to the sword as Hugo Lloris could only palm Joelinton’s shot out to Murphy, who fired into the roof of the net from close-range. Newcastle were the first team to score three goals within the opening nine minutes of a Premier League match since Manchester City against Burnley in 2010.
It was the second fastest 5-0 lead in Premier League history after Manchester City, who took 18 minutes to do it against Watford in 2019.
