Exactly a year ago today it was Newcastle 6 Tottenham 1 – Enjoy all the goals again here | OneFootball

What a day, exactly a year ago we all were left stunned by Newcastle 6 Tottenham 1.

The visitors in shock, both the Spurs players on the pitch AND their fans in the Leazes end.

The first 21 minutes seeing five goals scored at that end of St James’ Park without reply.

That Newcastle 6 Tottenham 1 final score could have easily reached double figures if United had taken other chances and not stepped off the gas to an extent, as the game was closed out.

These official Newcastle 6 Tottenham 1 match highlights below telling the story of the game.

Eddie Howe’s sent his side out to blow Tottenham away and this was achieved within nine minutes at 3-0.

Whilst after 21 minutes, Spurs were absolutely demolished.

Some great finishing though and fine football at times. Such intensity.

See for yourselves.

Difficult to select my favourite goal here, a toss of the coin between Murphy’s second (and the look on his face!), Joelinton’s special goal, plus that Willock pass and Isak finish… sublime.

Great to see the spirit and togetherness in this Newcastle United team, all credit to Eddie Howe.
