Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak Scores As Newcastle Thrash Tottenham 6-1
Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak scores as Newcastle thrash Tottenham 6-1 on Sunday .
Newcastle led within 70 seconds, Jacob Murphy tapping in after Hugo Lloris failed to deal with a shot from Joelinton, and it was a sign of things to come.
Joelinton himself made it two when a long ball bypassed Spurs’ entire defence, the Brazilian duly rounding Lloris to roll into an empty net.
Murphy then scored from long range to make it 3-0 in just the ninth minute – again benefitting from questionable goalkeeping.
A quickfire brace from Alexander Isak make it 5-0, the first of those goals made possible by a brilliant Joe Willock through-ball.
Harry Kane scored a consolation goal for Tottenham shortly after the break, but substitute Callum Wilson restored Newcastle’s five-goal advantage.
Victory lifts the Magpies to third in the Premier League and 59 points – six more than fifth-placed Spurs, who have played a game more.
