Newcastle United’s push for an immediate return to European competition received a significant boost over the weekend.
Eddie Howe’s men kicked off the Premier League fixtures with a dominant display against Champions League chasing Tottenham Hotspur as an Alexander Isak brace and a goal apiece from Anthony Gordon and Fabian Schar helped the Magpies to a 4-0 win over Ange Postecoglou’s side.
