As Manchester United celebrated reaching their second domestic cup final of the season, Tottenham Hotspur and Harry Kane were coming to terms with sinking to a new low.
Spurs travelled to St James' Park on Sunday afternoon with the intention of closing the gap on Newcastle United, the Reds and the top four.
Instead, they left Tyneside further away from the coveted Champions League spots than ever before - certainly psychologically.
United have been guilty of capitulating on a few occasions this season, including during last Thursday's 3-0 defeat in Seville, but even they have not managed to find themselves 5-0 down after just 21 minutes.
