Premier League

FULL-TIME: NEWCASTLE UNITED 6-1 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR. Spurs were never in the game after conceding those early goals. Their defence and tactics let them down today but all credit to the home team, who played really well. This will sting for a whil;e for Spurs. Thank you for joining us.

We will have three minutes of time added on for stoppages.

FT 6-1 #nufc. Kane makes a point of taking his team-mates to the far end to applaud the Spurs fans who have stayed. They stemmed the tide in the second half but a hugely damaging day which says plenty about the two trajectories these clubs are on at present.

5 - Newcastle 6-1 Tottenham was the Magpies' biggest Premier League win since January 2011 v West Ham (5-0), and Spurs' heaviest Premier League defeat since December 2013 v Liverpool (0-5). Cricket. https://t.co/mdEgqY1tXr

FT 6-1. Based on the first 21 minutes alone this was the worst performance I have ever seen from Tottenham. There have be so many moments in the last few years that felt like nadirs at the time, but none of them come close to this. This is what a nadir feels like.

Hard to find the right tone here but: Spurs have actually played OK for the last 20 minutes.

Harry Kane Spurs captain for the scond half

Spurs back out early for the second half... but with Fraser Forster in goal instead of Hugo Lloris.

HT 5-0 #nufc A complete implosion from Tottenham which says so much about the present state of the club. Rudderless. Newcastle were fabulously clinical in taking advantage. Loud boos from the away section - some #thfc fans left after 30 minutes.

coming round to the view that it would have been worth the european super league happening just to be able to watch spurs in it
