Tottenham conceded three goals inside 10 minutes in a humilating 6-1 defeat away to Newcastle at St. James Park on Sunday.

Spurs started the day three minutes behind Newcastle in the race for a top four finish and were looking to close the gap on the Magpies, but they found themselves blown away in an incredible spell from Eddie Howe's side.

But any hopes of a revival were put to bed as Callum Wilson restored Newcastle's five-goal advantage after 67 minutes in an incredible game.
