Tottenham secured their first win in six matches with a dominant 4-1 triumph over Newcastle, led by Richarlison's impressive brace on Sunday.
After a challenging period that saw them lose four of their last five games, Tottenham bounced back under Ange Postecoglou's attacking approach.
Destiny Udogie opened the scoring in the first half, demonstrating Tottenham's commitment to an attacking style. Richarlison doubled the lead before halftime, showcasing the team's determination to regain momentum in the Premier League.
Richarlison continued his impressive performance in the second half, securing his brace and solidifying Tottenham's control over the match. Son Heung-min added to the scoreline with a late penalty, sealing the victory for fifth-placed Tottenham and bringing them within three points of fourth-placed Manchester City.
Despite a late consolation goal from Joelinton, Newcastle was outclassed throughout the game, marking another disappointing result after their recent 3-0 loss to Everton. The defeat poses a challenge for Eddie Howe's team as they prepare for a crucial Champions League clash with AC Milan on Wednesday.
Tottenham's commitment to an attacking mindset, despite recent criticisms, paid off in this convincing win. The team showcased freedom of movement, with Udogie's involvement from left-back leading to the opening goal. Richarlison's clinical finishing and Son Heung-min's dynamic play added to the attacking display.
With this victory, Tottenham aims to revive their early-season form and climb the Premier League table. For Newcastle, the dispiriting result adds pressure ahead of their decisive Champions League group stage clash with AC Milan, where they must secure a win and hope for favourable results elsewhere to progress to the last 16.
