Three days before its decisive match in the Champions League against AC Milan, with the possibility of overtaking PSG, Newcastle recorded a second heavy defeat in the Premier League, Sunday at Tottenham (4-1).
There was no real match during the clash between Tottenham and Newcastle on Sunday. Spurs ended a five-game winless run in the Premier League by sweeping away the Magpies 4-1. Newcastle remained on a 3-0 defeat against Everton and, undermined by injuries, displays a worrying face before hosting AC Milan next Wednesday in the Champions League. As a reminder, PSG can still be overtaken by Eddie Howe’s team if they do not win in Dortmund…
The North Londoners were able to count on the talent of their captain Son Heung-Min to win in their lair. The South Korean striker found Destiny Udogie for the opener (26th), served Richarlison for 2-0 (38th) before scoring his 10th goal in the PL after having himself obtained a penalty at the end of match (85th). Richarlison, aligned at the forefront, scored a double (60th). Joelinton saved his team’s honor in added time (91st).
Tottenham regains fifth place alone ahead of Manchester United, seven points behind leader Liverpool, while Newcastle are seventh, six lengths from the top 4.
