Newcastle United Thrash Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 to Surge into Premier League’s Top Six

Newcastle United put on a masterclass performance as they thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 at St. James’ Park, propelling themselves into the Premier League’s top six and reigniting their hopes of securing a place in next season’s Champions League.

The Magpies, led by the impressive Alexander Isak who scored a brace, dominated the game from start to finish. Despite facing defensive challenges due to injuries, Eddie Howe’s side switched to a back three formation and managed to keep Spurs at bay throughout the match.

The turning point came midway through the first half when Isak capitalized on errors by Spurs’ Micky van de Ven to open the scoring, followed by Anthony Gordon doubling the lead moments later. Isak continued his stellar performance in the second half, extending Newcastle’s advantage and moving closer to the Premier League’s Golden Boot race.

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou tried to shake things up with tactical substitutions, but it was too little too late as Newcastle sealed the victory with a late header from Fabian Schar off a Gordon corner.

The defeat dealt a blow to Tottenham’s Champions League aspirations, with the top-four race heating up and challenging fixtures against Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City still on the horizon.

As the season enters its crucial stage, Newcastle’s emphatic win has injected renewed hope and optimism into their campaign, while Spurs will need to regroup quickly to salvage their European ambitions. With just six games remaining, the race for a top-four finish is heating up, and Newcastle have firmly thrown their hat into the ring.
