Despite the Londoners having 72% of ball possession, the hosts were lethal on the counterattack and took a 4-0 lead amidst the euphoria of the fans.
Newcastle, with a great collective performance, crushed Tottenham this Saturday morning (13/4), in the match that opened the 33rd round of the Premier League. In their domain, St. James Park, they scored 4-0 against the Londoners. However, the curious thing is that Newcastle left the ball to their rival (they only had 28% ball possession). But he was lethal when he attacked and could have done much more against a very strong team fighting for the G4. Isak scored two goals, Gordon and Schar scored the Magpies’ other goals.
Newcastle thus reaches 50 points, provisionally occupying sixth place. But the team from the North of England are in sixth place, fighting for position in the Europa League. Tottenham, with the defeat, dropped to fifth place, with 60 points. But this position could still be worth a place in the Champions League, if UEFA decides (through rankings) that the English will have five teams in the main continental competition. Or at least a place in the Europa League.
Tottenham with the ball; but Newcastle score the goals
Newcastle played a very intelligent game. He left the ball to Tottenham. But he launched rapid attacks when he recovered balls, taking advantage of the London team’s numerous passing errors. The first goal was one of those mistakes. Isak receives the ball, cuts the marker and scores 1 – 0. Two minutes later Tottenham loses the ball again and consequently Gordon, with a great move, expands.
In the second half the offensive effectiveness persists. Tottenham with the ball and Newcastle who sends it into the net. In the sixth minute, Isak looked great and scored the third goal, in the sixth minute. Tottenham lost themselves on the pitch. In this way the home team continues to excel. He missed several other chances until, in the 43rd minute, after a corner from the right taken by Gordon, defender Schar headed past goalkeeper Vicario. Victory ratified.
