Newcastle United humiliated Tottenham Hotspur with five goals in 21 stunning first-half minutes as they ran out easy winners in what was billed as a showdown for a top-four spot.
Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak each scored twice and Joelinton added another as Newcastle scythed through a porous visiting defence that was already under the spotlight from last week's defeat against Bournemouth.
Harry Kane pulled one back in the second half at St James' Park but Callum Wilson added a sixth to complete the rout shortly after coming off the bench.
The embarrassing defeat is a significant blow to Spurs' dwindling hopes of securing Champions League qualification - but in contrast the Magpies are now in a commanding position to finish in the top four as they climb to third.
