Spurs hit five past Newcastle to go fourth

Tottenham moved up to fourth in the Premier League table and piled the pressure on rivals Arsenal with a thumping 5-1 comeback win at home to Newcastle.

Goals from Ben Davies and Matt Doherty either side of half-time turned the game around after Fabian Schar's free-kick flew past Hugo Lloris, and Spurs kept their foot on the pedal for a big win which boosts their belief for the run-in.

Heung-min Son finished a fine move started by the excellent Harry Kane to give Spurs the two-goal cushion they needed to move above their north London rivals.

It was a man of the match display from Kane, despite being a surprise absentee from the scoresheet. Instead Emerson Royal added a fourth with his first goal for the club, and sub Steven Bergwijn raced through the centre of a suddenly exposed Newcastle defence to complete the rout.

It's the first time Spurs have been in the Champions League qualifying spots since September and - with three Premier League wins on the spin - Antonio Conte's previously painfully inconsistent side look like they're hitting form at just the right time.

Arsenal - who now have two games in hand - can reclaim their top-four spot if they pick up a point at Crystal Palace on Monday Night Football, but the yet-to-be-rearranged postponed derby between the two rivals is shaping up to be potentially decisive.

As for Newcastle, what appeared to be an ideal away day performance for 43 minutes fell away badly, with boss Eddie Howe regretting how his side "chased the game in a very aggressive way" when they fell 2-1 down. They've now lost their last three but remain nine points clear of the relegation zone.

This game marked three years since the first Tottenham match at their new stadium and in that time only
