It took Levy 20 years to build modern Tottenham, and Newcastle just 20 minutes to tear it into skinny pieces

This must be the worst day in Daniel Levy’s life. Tottenham chairman lost his hair, youth and millions of pounds to build a modern Premier League club and take Spurs from obscurity to the lights of Champions League stardom in the previous two decades, only to see his darling being tarnished and humiliated in less than half an hour on this Sunday afternoon at St. James’ Park.Newcastle vs Tottenham goals pic.twitter.com/HdFmsYhLHh— Wasswa Keefa (@wasswaKe) April 23, 2023 In one of the most shocking games of the entire EPL season so far, Newcastle United destroyed the North Londoners 6-1 after putting staggering three goals past Hugo Lloris in the opening eight minutes. From that point on, it was apparent we were witnessing a larger-than-life game which could serve as a symbolic ‘coronation’ of a new superpower in English football – Newcastle United.Club captain Hugo Lloris is subbed off at half-time for Fraser Forster after conceding 5 goals for Tottenham in 20 minutes against Newcastle 😬 pic.twitter.com/kYML70NM63— SPORTbible (@sportbible) April 23, 2023 Eddi Howe’s side recreated some of that long-lost Geordies’ magic from the mid-’90s when Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, David Ginola and the rest of Kevin Keegan crew demolished Spurs also, 7-1 at the same venue.Newcastle United’s 7-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, 1996. pic.twitter.com/6jc5ow5YjN— 90s Football (@90sfootball) August 9, 2017 This time, some new kids on the block paved the way for this fantastic NUFC triumph, pushing them straight to third place on the table.It was over almost straight from the kick-off as Jacob Murphy found the back of Lloris’ net only 61 seconds into the game. One of the fastest goals of the season seemed to have caused chaos among the shambolic Spurs, who conceded two more in the space of just seven minutes! Joelinton doubled the lead with a razor shot before Murphy bagged a brace thanks to a long-distant screamer.Jacob Murphy brace gives Newcastle United lead over Spurs with 3 goals in 8 minutes! 🤯#NewcastleUnited #Tottenhamhotspur #PremierLeague pic.twitter.com/XfHe5OKaX4— Sportskeeda Football (@skworldfootball) April 23, 2023 Ironic or not, but that was the moment the game was decided, with not less than 82 minutes left on the clock!It kept pouring, though, as woeful Spurs simply couldn’t get their heads around the fact they conceded from every single action near Lloris’ box.Relay just went from Murphy to Alexander Isak’s hands, with the latter scoring two goals in four minutes for a historic 5-0 lead after just 20 minutes.◉ 02′ – Newcastle 1-0 Spurs◉ 06′ – Newcastle 2-0 Spurs◉ 09′ – Newcastle 3-0 Spurs◉ 19′ – Newcastle 4-0 Spurs◉ 21′ – Newcastle 5-0 SpursTottenham are getting embarrassed here 😬#NEWTOT pic.twitter.com/iCin131yKV— Football Talk (@FootballTalkHQ) April 23, 2023 Despair spread through the Tottenham squad as this agonizing afternoon kept battering them without pause. The half-time interval saved them from some more humiliation, and Harry Kane’s early goal in the second promised maybe even a tolerable loss in the end. Alas, it wasn’t the case after all, as Callum Wilson made it 6-1 following Almiron’s effort.GOAL | Newcastle 6-1 Tottenham | Callum Wilsonpic.twitter.com/0VOp9VEck2— VAR Tático (@vartatico) April 23, 2023 Half a dozen goals, a brutal, statement win, and Tottenham left in the dust… It doesn’t get much better than that if you’re Geordie. Spurs fans, on the other hand… May God have mercy upon your soul when Newcastle was having none of it.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 32FridayArsenal – Southampton 3-3 (1-2)/Martinelli 20, Odegaard 88, Saka 90 – Alcaraz 1, Walcott 14, Caleta-Car 66/SaturdayFulham – Leeds 2-1 (0-0)/Wilson 58, Pereira 72 – Palhinha 79/Brentford – Aston Villa 1-1 (0-0)/Toney 65 – Luiz 87/Crystal Palace – Everton 0-0Leicester – Wolves 2-1 (1-1)/Iheanacho 37 pen, Castagne 75 – Cunha 13/Liverpool – Nott.
