Newcastle 6-1 Tottenham: Champions League showdown that was a humiliation

It was the 21 minutes that cemented Newcastle United's place as favourites for a Champions League return - and illustrated the shambolic state Tottenham Hotspur are in.

On Tyneside they will be talking about the opening quarter of their 6-1 win over Spurs for some time to come. They will in north London too, but with a very different tone.

Jacob Murphy scored after 61 seconds, then Joelinton netted, then Murphy again. That was all within nine minutes. Some Spurs fans left.

Murphy - who had only scored once in the league all season before this game - and Isak each had two goals with just 21 minutes on the clock.
