Opposed to Newcastle as part of the 16th day of the Premier League, Tottenham, who remained in five matches without a victory, revived (4-1) this Sunday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Buoyed by a goal from Destiny Udogie shortly before the half-hour mark (1-0, 26th), the Spurs generally dominated the debates. A few moments before the break, Ange Postecoglou’s men even doubled the lead through Richarlison who passed in front of Bruno Guimaraes to deceive Martin Dubravka (2-0, 37th).

Returning from the locker room, Richarlison scored twice (3-0, 60th) while Brennan Johnson was very close to increasing the score but his shot ended on the Toons post (62nd). Finally, Son also scored his goal by converting a penalty in the final moments (4-0, 85th, sp). Despite the reduction in the score signed by Joelinton (4-1, 90 + 2nd), the Spurs returned to success and thus chased away certain anxieties that had appeared in recent weeks. In the standings, Tottenham is in 5th place, five lengths behind third, Aston Villa. For its part, Newcastle – which is preparing to play its future in the Champions League – falls back into its failings and remains stuck in 7th place.
