Newcastle United have started the cracker against Tottenham Hotspur in a fantastic way. Eddie Howe’s team already led 3-0 within nine minutes. Jacob Murphy opened the scoring after just over a minute of play, after which Joelinton and again Murphy took an unprecedented 3-0 lead within nine minutes. As if that wasn’t bizarre enough, Alexander Isak made it 5-0 in minutes eighteen and twenty.

After 63 seconds it was a hit for Newcastle. Hugo Lloris was unable to clear a Joelinton shot, after which Murphy was there like the chickens: 1-0. The dream start of the Magpies took on a new dimension after only five minutes. This time, Joelinton got away from Pedro Porro, outplayed Lloris and finished off a breeze: 2-0. However, Newcastle kept pushing through and Murphy’s second of the afternoon made it 3-0 almost unprecedentedly quickly. Murphy tried his luck from a distance this time and left Lloris without a chance. In minute eighteen it was already 4-0. A deep ball was just right for Isak: Lloris once again had no chance. The 5-0 also fell from Isak’s foot. This time too, his shot fell into the far corner.
