At home against Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle scored five goals in just 21 minutes, making them the second fastest team in Premier League history to score five.
Just 62 seconds into the game, Newcastle scored with lightning, Jorington's powerful shot was blocked by Lowry, and Murphy added the goal. Just five minutes later, Jolrington burst into the box and passed Lowry before sending the ball into an empty net.
In the 9th minute, Murphy's right-footed shot from distance in front of the penalty area scored with an easy score. With three goals scored in just nine minutes, Tottenham's performance was strongly criticised, with Peter Smith pointing out: "It's totally unacceptable to start like this, especially given the criticism they received after last week's home defeat to Bournemouth. ”
In the 19th minute, Isaac single-handedly burst into the box and fired a low right-footed shot. Two minutes later, Isaac scored from a small angle from the right side of the penalty area, also completing the goal. Among them, Lanstaff's one-handed ball for Isaac was rated by Sky Sports as the best pass of the season.
Scoring five goals in just 21 minutes, Newcastle became the second fastest team in Premier League history to take a 5-0 lead, behind Manchester City in September 2019 when they took just 18 minutes to lead Watford by five goals. Legendary defender Carragher said angrily: "Tottenham's performance is a shame. ”
Nick Wright, a prominent journalist who was watching the game, said, "What's going on? Tottenham's players were arguing with each other and they looked shocked. If Newcastle continue to score at this pace, they will win 20-0. Totally unbelievable. ”
Alan Smith said: "Tottenham have collapsed! It's really unbelievable, what must Kane be thinking? ”
In such a battle for the big four, it only took 21 minutes for Tottenham to lose the possibility of competing for a ticket to the Champions League. With one more game, Tottenham are already six points behind Newcastle, while Manchester United, who also have 39 points, have played two fewer games than Tottenham.
Nick Wright criticised Tottenham chairman Levy, "It's a disaster for Tottenham! Fans will also ask Levy that his decision will be subject to scrutiny, and it would be reckless to do so at such a crucial moment in the season, a month after Conte's sack, without a suitable manager! ”
