Newcastle vs Spurs: Newcastle United humbled Tottenham Hotspur as they scored 6 goals, and 5 of them, came within the first 21 minutes of the game. However, it actually could’ve gone much worse for Spurs. Conte’s sacking seems to have brought more misery as no permanent manager leads to a humiliating 6-1 scoreline for Spurs. Football fans have taken over the internet with jokes and memes saying Spurs can be counted as one of the worst clubs in London. Follow Premier League LIVE Updates on InsideSport.IN.

Tottenham Hotspur took on Newcastle United in a battle to gain a spot in the Champions League qualifier zone. Tottenham were already in a declining form since the beginning of March. They sacked their manager Antonio Conte, but that did not resolve the situation.

Spurs were already in the 5th position and if they were to defeat Newcastle today, they still would’ve stayed in the same position in the league table. However, they would’ve had some hope to get back into form. That hope didn’t only get shattered, but they also got humiliated in the process.
Spurs new interim coach Cristian Stellini decided to experiment with the back line. He decided to abandon the back three format to back four. Right-back Cristian Romero joined Eric Dier in the center. The coach introduced Pedro Porro and Ivan Perisic in the right-back and left-back positions respectively when they have only ever played as wing-backs.
Biggest halftime leads in Premier League history:
Newcastle 5-0 Tottenham (2023)
Southampton 0-5 Leicester (2019)
Man City 5-0 Watford (2019)— B/R Football (@brfootball) April 23, 2023
This experiment turned out to be a disaster as the defense left plenty of space for Newcastle attackers to take their time, take a sip of afternoon tea, then score a goal. It took them less than 22 minutes to score 5 and get their name on the list of three teams who have managed to get the biggest halftime leads in the history of the Premier League.
