FIVE goals in 21 minutes! Shambolic Spurs hit a new low

If Spurs thought that St Totteringham’s Day would represent the low point of their weekend, they were made to think again in a 6-1 loss at Newcastle.

Cristian Stellini took his side to St James’ Park knowing that they will finish below north London rivals Arsenal in the Premier League table once again this season, but with hopes of securing a top-four finish still very much alive. Those dreams were left in tatters inside just 21 minutes, with Newcastle racing into a five-goal lead.

Jacob Murphy opened the scoring inside 61 seconds and fired in a 25-yard stunner eight minutes later after Joelinton had doubled the Magpies’ advantage. In-form Swedish striker Alexander Isak then got in on the act, bagging a brace in the space of two minutes as disgruntled Spurs supporters began to head for the exits.

Harry Kane did pull one back for the visitors early in the second half, taking him to 207 Premier League goals and one behind Wayne Rooney on the all-time list, but Callum Wilson scored within 65 seconds of being introduced off the bench just past the hour mark as Newcastle ensured that they hit fellow Champions League hopefuls for six.
