Tottenham have made the worst possible start to what is probably their most important game in the race to finish top 4.
Newcastle have scored three goals inside the first ten minutes of the game and Spurs look absolutely clueless.
Murphy scored the first goal after a shot from Joelinton was parried away by the keeper only for the the striker to score on the rebound.
WHAT A START FOR THE MAGPIES!

Joelinton then scored the second himself with a fine finish just 4 minutes later. Awful defending from Spurs as one diagonal pass from Fabian Schar found Joelinton through who went round the keeper to extend their lead.
Newcastle are up 2-0 on Tottenham in the first five minutes!
What a ball from Schar! 🤩

And just three minutes later Murphy scored a long ranger screamer to make it three.
WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!
Not even Jacob Murphy can believe Newcastle are up 3-0 in 8 minutes!
