Tottenham vs Newcastle Report: Spurs Dismantle Magpies As Richarlison Ends Goal Drought
In a pivotal game in the race for a top-four finish in the Premier League, both sides were aiming to swiftly bounce back from their respective defeats in midweek.
It was the away side that had the first big chance of the match when Alexander Isak failed to convert, but it was one-way traffic from then on.
Twice Son Heung-Min ran at former teammate Kieran Trippier, and twice he found a teammate for a first-time finish. Destiny Udogie got the opener before Richarlison doubled the advantage going into halftime.
Richarlison’s goal was the first he has scored with his feet for Tottenham, and on the hour mark, the Brazilian doubled his tally for the game.
Things went from bad to worse for Eddie Howe’s side when Martin Dubravka brought down Son in the penalty area, from which the Spurs skipper converted.
Joelinton scored a consolation goal in added time to make it 4-1, but it’s yet another away defeat for Newcastle, who haven’t won away from St James’ Park since September.
The Magpies turn their attention to their crucial Champions League encounter with AC Milan on Wednesday, while Ange Postecoglu prepares his side to face Nottingham Forest on Friday night.
