How did the players fare in Newcastle's 6-1 thrashing of Tottenham?
NEWCASTLE (4-3-3):
7 Pope: Didn’t have a chance with Kane’s clinical finish and made a good late stop from Danjuma
7 Trippier: Will have loved this experience against his former side – a key presence down the right-hand side
6 Schar: Wasn’t extended too much, but was second best as Kane scored Spurs’ goal in the second half
7 Botman: Did well against Kane and Son and helped ensure Spurs were kept in check in the second half
7 Burn: Got forward effectively on a number of occasions and came close to scoring with a second-half header
8 Guimaraes: Pulled the strings at the heart of the Newcastle midfield and was able to constantly unpick the Spurs defence
8 Longstaff: More than justified his return to the side – set up Isak’s second goal with a neat back-heel
8 Willock: Was a key part of Newcastle’s first-half exhibition – laid on Isak’s opener with a great pass
9 Murphy: Set the tone for an exhilarating attacking display as he scored twice in the opening ten minutes
9 Isak: Tore the Tottenham defence apart as he claimed two goals in three minutes with a pair of clinical finishes
9 Joelinton: Set up Murphy’s opener with a shot that was saved and showed great composure to round Lloris to score
Subs:
7 Wilson (for Isak, 66): Stabbed home Newcastle’s sixth goal within a minute of coming onto the field
7 Almiron (for Murphy, 66): Set up Wilson’s goal with a shot that was blocked
