Alexander Isak took his tally to 10 goals this seasonNewcastle United humiliated Tottenham Hotspur with five goals in 22 stunning first-half minutes as they ran out easy winners at St James' Park.
Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak each scored twice and Joelinton added another as Newcastle scythed through a fragile visiting defence lacking confidence from last week's defeat to Bournemouth.
Harry Kane pulled one back in the second half but Callum Wilson added a sixth shortly after coming off the bench to complete the rout.
The embarrassing defeat is a significant blow to Spurs' dwindling Champions League hopes while the victory puts the Magpies in a commanding position as they climb to third.
