SPURS KICKED

Total Tottenham shambles as they ship five in 21 minutes

WALK OF SHAME: Harry Kane applauds Tottenham’s longsuffering fans

SIX OF THE BEST: Newcastle substitute Callum Wilson completed the scoring just seconds after being sprung from the bench

TOTTENHAM were lucky it didn’t get to double figures.

Breathless, intense and ruthless, Eddie Howe’s red-hot Newcastle side tore Spurs apart.

Part Geordie brilliance, part Spurs shambles.

If there was any doubt over which team is steamrollering their way to the Champions League, this was an emphatic answer. Newcastle are leaping into the elite.

Jaws dropped around st James’ Park as newcastle racked up a barely believable five goals in the first 21 minutes.

It was fantasy land on Tyneside in a season that has delivered plenty of smiles.

Rampaging

Joelinton was a rampaging bully, scoring and making one. Jacob Murphy netted a double, including one from 30 yards. Alexander Isak also at the double, his strike rate now 10 from 15 league games.

Howe’s men on rampage — smashing, demoralising and humiliating a top-four rival in the process.

For Spurs, another inquest, and yet more instability. Antonio Conte had it right about this Spurs squad. They were gutless in the first half.

Pick your villain. Hugo Lloris was invisible in goal, Eric Dier and Cristian Romero weak in defence.

Up front, Harry Kane failing to lead. Or Cristian Stellini for tactical set-up and lack of motivational skill.

The rout started after 61 seconds, and 20 minutes later Newcastle had racked up five goals.

Murphy smashed into the roof of the next from a tight angle after Lloris palmed Joelinton’s shot away. The Brazilian drove into the box unchallenged by four Spurs players.

On six minutes, Joelinton scored himself. Fabian Schar pinged a trademark diagonal ball from the back which Joelinton stunned under his control before rounding Lloris and scoring.

With nine minutes on the clock, it was three. Again Schar got the assist, pinching the ball in the deep and finding Murphy.

The right winger skipped forward and unleashed a swerving 30-yard shot which Lloris watch hit the back of the net.

Isak then scored two goals in three minutes. Newcastle’s fourth, in the 19th minute, came from Dan Burn winning the ball next to his own box and Bruno Guimaraes mopping up with a ball wide to Joe Willock.

Conjured

The ex-Arsenal midfielder then conjured the pass on the season. With the outside of his right foot, Willock bent a 40-yards pass around the Spurs back line into the past of Isak.

The Sweden international ran in on goal, outpacing Dier, and tucked home.

it was five when isak collected a back heel from sean Longstaff and squeezed past Lloris, who really shouldn’t have been beaten from that angle. Four in his last five games for isak.

It was the quickest five-goal haul in the Premier League since Murphy 2, 9, Joelinton 6, Isak 19, 21, Wilson 67
