NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Newcastle handed Tottenham another drubbing at St. James’ Park as Alexander Isak’s double helped secure a 4-0 win for Eddie Howe’s team in the Premier League on Saturday.
Isak and Anthony Gordon both scored within 95 seconds of each other in the first half as Newcastle followed up last season’s 6-1 home win over Spurs with another dominant performance to damage Tottenham’s hopes of a top-four finish.
Isak, who also scored twice in that big win last April, capped a stellar performance with a second goal in the 51st minute to take his tally to 17 in the league and 21 overall this season. Gordon added his second assist of the game with a corner that was headed home by Fabian Schar for the fourth goal in the 87th.
“Playing football is really fun at the moment, especially when we have days like this,” Isak said. “When the fans are like they are always when we play at home, it feels like we are so strong here.”
