Alexander Isak and Jacob Murphy both scored twice as Newcastle opened up a 5-0 lead within 21 minutes to thrash Tottenham 6-1 to move up to third in the Premier League
They started with a back four for the first time since January 2022 but some experiments prove wiser than others and Stellini’s decision to break with Conte’s old back‑three fixation soon looked unwise.When Spurs forfeited midfield possession, Joelinton sauntered into the box as Cristian Romero, his supposed minder, watched admiringly.
Joelinton swiftly scored a goal of his own. This time Fabian Schär’s superbly lofted, long through ball confounded the visiting defence – and Romero in particular – leaving the Brazilian to round Lloris before steering the ball into the empty net. Even Murphy looked a little surprised at how well things were going, but Newcastle’s afternoon had really only just begun. The time had come for Willock to take time off from pressing Spurs into submission and remind everyone of his burgeoning talent. Courtesy of a sublime through pass delivered with the outside of a foot from deep, the former Arsenal midfielder teed up Isak to steal behind Tottenham’s bisected backline and sweep a shot into the bottom corner.
