Newcastle ridiculed Tottenham: five goals in 21 minutes for the Premier League

With five goals in 21 minutes, Newcastle United destroyed (6-1) an embarrassing Tottenham Hotspur that hit bottom, big words for these ‘Spurs’, and they need a new coach to replace the interim Christian Stellini and bring stability to the team to not drop from the European posts.

The ‘Magpies’ marked the second fastest ‘hand’ in the history of the Premier League, after the one that Manchester City did to Watford in 2019. They cleared up a Tottenham lost since the departure of Antonio Conte and that threatens to deflate until letting go of the Champions League positions and it remains to be seen if also those of the Europa League.

This Tottenham, which is no longer worth it alone with Harry Kane and Heung-min Son, is also a disaster without Conte on the bench, because the Italian was replaced by his assistant, Christian Stellini, who has not changed anything and what has changed has been for the worse.

Against Newcastle, one of the best teams in the league, he decided to go out with a defense of four, a strategy rarely seen in post-Pochettino Tottenham, and the experiment could not have gone worse. Every time Newcastle had the ball, it was a goal.

Jacop Murphy, after a bad rebound from Hugo Lloris, opened the party in minute 2, Joelinton continued by beating Pedro Porro’s back and dribbling past Lloris and Murphy himself scored the third, before minute 10, with a great shot from outside the area.

“This is a shame,” they pointed out in the Sky Sports broadcast in the United Kingdom, but Tottenham still had two more strokes of ridicule left before reacting. Aleksander Isak beat Lloris twice before the 21st minute and put his ‘hand’ on the scoreboard after this week Daniel Levy, in a talk, assured that Tottenham is the best team in the world. Questionable to say the least.

Stellin was forced to react and removed Sarr from midfield to bring in a third centre-back, Davinson Sánchez. The match was leveled, although before the break they could still drop a couple more goals for Tottenham, but they were already completely lost for the ‘Spurs’. The Italian coach took Lloris off at half-time to bring out the substitute goalkeeper. A declaration of intent.

The bleeding was stopped by Harry Kane, with the “honor” goal, something that shows that he is well above the aspirations of this team and that Levy is going to need more than appealing to the “legend” to keep him for another year .

To top off the embarrassment, Callum Wilson made it 6-1 and Tottenham took a set from a supposed direct rival for the ‘Champions’. But that fourth place seems further away than ever and, although it is only six points behind him -with two games more than Manchester United-, the feelings are terrible for the ‘Spurs’, who need to find a coach as soon as possible. This week, in addition, Manchester United (Thursday) and Liverpool (Sunday) are measured.
