An emphatic victory for Spurs who have hit Newcastle for five and propelled themselves into the top four of the Premier League this evening! Conte's men were clinical and swept away their visitors in brutal fashion. Newcastle can take heart from their first half display, but will be left wondering how the game got away from them so quickly in the second half. It's finished here with Tottenham winning by five goals to one.

Spurs will take their place in the top four this evening, something that looked beyond them when Conte arrived at the club. Huge credit must go to the manager but also the players for turning their fortunes around. Consistency will be the key as we enter the final stages of the season.

Signed, sealed and delivered, what an afternoon for Spurs! Bergwijn adds a fifth having only been on the pitch for a matter of minutes. He is set through one-on-one with Dubravka and calmly slots the ball into the bottom corner!

Steven Bergwijn replaces goal scorer Emerson as we enter the final ten minutes in this match. Spurs have already secured the victory bar a major capitulation and will be looking to see this game out professionally now.

Bentancur makes way for Harry Winks while Kulusevski comes off for Lucas Moura. Both players have played pivotal roles in Spurs success this afternoon with tenacity and creativity between them.

Newcastle will wonder how the game has gotten away from them so quickly after they made such a positive start. Spurs have been lethal and relentless since emerging from the dressing rooms for the second half and they don't look like they are done just yet.

A more defensive change this time around from Howe, who introduces Jamaal Lascelles in place of Wood for the final twenty minutes. Spurs continue to charge forward in search of further goals.

Spurs are in cruise control and well on their way to finishing the evening in the top four of the Premier League! Doherty crosses for Emerson who sticks out a leg at the near post and watches the ball trickle into the corner past Dubravka.

We have around half an hour left to play in north London and Spurs have really taken control of this match with two quick goals early in the second half, which have stunned Newcastle who started so brightly.

Joelinton, who is booked, and Manquillo make way for Guimaraes and Murphy as Newcastle look to reduce the deficit. They had two corners in quick succession but are unable to make anything of them.

Spurs are flying and they have netted a third goal courtesy of Son! Kane feeds Kulusevski down the right side, he crosses for Son who has time to control and finish inside the box to double Spurs' advantage!

VAR had a brief look at the second goal for Spurs, but after clearing up that Son had not touched the ball in an offside position, the goal stands! The atmosphere changed dramatically with that second goal.

Conte and wing backs, eh? Kane delivers an exemplary cross into the box where Doherty was waiting to nod the ball past a helpless Dubravka from close-range. What a start to the second half for the home side!

The competitive element of this match has certainly not fizzled out during the half time break. Burn is booked for catching Kane late and Spurs have a chance to ping the ball into the Newcastle box, but it comes to nothing in the end.

Spurs kick us off again with the sides level ahead of the next 45 minutes. It's all to play for and based on the first half showing, this game could go either way. No changes for either team at the interval.

A spicy first half comes to an end with Spurs and Newcastle level after 45 minutes. Schar's free kick gave the visitors a surprise lead however, Spurs were level within minutes thanks to Davies' close-range header. All to play for in the second half with both sides fired up after a pre-half-time melee!

It all gets a little silly with some pushing and shoving between the players which the referee now has to deal with. Saint-Maximin, Joelinton and Bentancur are booked for the roles they all played in that little fracas.

Wow, this game has sprung into life and Spurs are back level within minutes of falling behind! Son whips a beautiful cross into the box for Davies who glances the ball beyond Dubravka and into the bottom corner! Game well and truly on!

Son commits a foul right on the edge of the Spurs box and Newcastle make the most of the resulting free kick! Fabian Schar finds the smallest of gaps in the wall, squeezing the ball through and beyond Hugo Lloris into the far corner! First blood to the Toon!

Ryan Fraser draws a foul from Davies inviting another cross into the Spurs box, but it doesn't cause any problems for the home side. At the other end, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg gets on the end of Kulusevski's cross, but nods the ball high of the target.
