Tottenham are fifth, three points behind Newcastle, and have played a game more. The London club know they need a win at St. James' Park to keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive.
On the contrary, a defeat would make it almost impossible for Stellini's team to compete for a ticket to the Champions League next season. Even the fifth position would be shaky with Brighton, Aston Villa and Liverpool right behind.
The sad result happened to Tottenham, not only did they return empty-handed but they also suffered great humiliation when they conceded 6 goals. It is worth mentioning that Tottenham collapsed right after the opening whistle, the away team conceded 5 goals in the first 21 minutes. It seems that Newcastle was not really determined to make their opponent suffer such a heavy defeat, so Tottenham was lucky to only concede one more goal in the remaining time.
