Was Spurs thrashing the performance of the season?published at 17:41
17:41
Still thinking about last weekend's thrashing over Tottenham?
The team on BBC Radio Newcastle's Total Sport podcast are, and they think it holds a strong case for being performance of the season.
"I have been thinking about the game a lot this week and it could be a contender for game of the season," said BBC Radio Newcastle commentator Matthew Raisbeck.
"Paris Saint-Germain (in the Champions League) is always going to be way out ahead because of what it was and what it represented, but in the Premier League it has to be up there with the best.
"What Eddie Howe did tactically with what he had available was brilliant and they played so well.
"There has been a lot of analysis about Spurs' defence but you have to praise our attacking play with Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordan and Harvey Barnes.

Howe 'played a tactical blinder' against Spurspublished at 16:56 17 April

It is rarely dull at St James’ Park so as I tottered along on Saturday I confidently expected fireworks. The home side did not disappoint and the quality of Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes should not be glossed over.
They were unstoppable, but what about Spurs!
It must have been shocking for Ange Postecoglou and all Tottenham fans to witness such an uncharacteristically insipid performance. But why did it happen?
Eddie Howe played a tactical blinder, exploiting the naively high defensive line. Will Ange ever change that? The answer is an emphatic no. There is also the fact that the high intensity ‘Ange-ball’ style wears players out over the course of a season. Postecoglou will fix that over the summer by increasing the squad size if he is given the funds.
The most obvious problem on the day however was that the normally brilliant Micky van de Ven had a shocker. I honestly thought he must have been wearing the wrong boots as he slid like Bambi on ice every time anyone threw him a dummy.
Maybe he was carrying an injury or was not getting enough cover, or we were just discovering that he does not have quick enough feet at close quarters for this level. We will find out soon enough.
On the positive side, others have had high profile disasters this season and recovered. Kieran Trippier had a toe-curling few weeks and Raheem Sterling had such a horror show for Chelsea against Leicester in the FA Cup that his own fans booed him off.
Best just ignore social media, blank the highlights on TV, then hope and believe it was just a bad day at the office.
England's fifth-place Champions League hopes take a hitpublished at 11:09 17 April

Simon Stone Chief football news reporter
Borussia Dortmund's magnificent victory against Atletico Madrid was great news for on-loan Manchester United star Jadon Sancho and Marcel Sabitzer, who left Old Trafford after spending the second half of last season on loan with Erik ten Hag's side.
However, it was bad news for England's chances of a fifth Champions League place next term.
Borussia Dortmund gained points for their match victory and a bonus for reaching the semi-final.
Those three co-efficient points are then divided by seven - the number of German teams who played in Europe this season - and added to their total.
It takes Germany onto 17.214, still trailing Italy, who have 18.428, but crucially, clear of England, who have 16.750.
The battle is not over yet but England could really do with Arsenal knocking out Bayern Munich tonight or West Ham reaching the Europa League semi-finals at the expense of Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday.

Howe has he done it again? Pardon the pun but at this point I feel obliged to mention Eddie Howe at every given opportunity. The man is a genius.
Despite having 11 injured players for the visit of Spurs, he didn’t just pull off a win, he pulled off a hammering! Playing wingers as full-backs and full-backs as centre-backs, he masterminded an emphatic 4-0 win over the side in fourth place.
Everyone was so quick to put Ange Postecoglou on a pedestal this season, raving about him and his style of play. Yet for me, Howe is still somehow criminally underrated. He destroyed Ange's high line and proved his tactical wit and bravery once again.
He continues to perform miracles at Newcastle United! For the Magpies to be sitting sixth in the league after a horrendous injury crisis this season, losing main summer signing Sandro Tonali to suspension, dealing with Champions League football and deadly cup draws, it is astonishing.
Howe has guided the Toon Army above Manchester United and are front runners for Europa League qualification. What an achievement that would be even without all of the mitigating circumstances this season. It has been a fantastic run of form for the Magpies which has seen them take 10 points out of a possible 12 in the last two weeks.
It is all setting up nicely for Newcastle to qualify for Europe and for Howe to be in contention for manager of the year again!
Meanwhile, the Magpies are intensifying their scouting of RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, as they look to beat Manchester United and Chelsea to the 20-year-old Slovenia striker. (Teamtalk), external
'Newcastle were outstanding from the first whistle'published at 17:14 15 April
17:14 15 April
BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions on all things Premier League.
Anonymous asked: What did you think of Newcastle's performance against Tottenham? We put them to the sword with players out, but all everyone wants to talk about is how bad Tottenham were.
Phil answered: I thought Newcastle United were outstanding from the first whistle and have kept themselves in contention for the European places. They have recovered remarkably well from a period when they were not at their best and with an incredibly long injury list.
In Alexander Isak they have an outstanding striker while Anthony Gordon has been a real stand-out this season and is under serious consideration for England's Euro 2024 squad.
Perhaps the focus was on Spurs because of the fight for Champions League places, but they were very well beaten by Newcastle on Saturday.
Did you know?
Newcastle only had 27% possession compared to Spurs' 73% but still had more touches in the opposition box (32 to 28), more shots (18 to 11) and more big chances (five to one) than the north London side.
Their 27% was also the second-lowest percentage on record (since 2003-04) for a team to win by a four or more goal margin in the Premier League after Everton 5-1 Brighton in May 2023 (22.3%).
'Simply superb' Isak scores againpublished at 11:27 15 April
11:27 15 April
Alexander Isak has scored in six consecutive home games for Newcastle United and is the first player to score 20 goals since Alan Shearer in 2003-04.
The 24-year-old has netted 27 in 46 games since he joined from Real Sociedad in August 2022 for a fee in the region of £60m.
Isak's double against Tottenham on Saturday took him to 17 league goals this season - the joint highest by a Swedish player in a campaign along with Zlatan Ibrahimovic's total at Manchester United in 2016-17.
"I like him and so do the fans," said former England captain Shearer on Match of the Day 2. "He is having a wonderful season.
"When you leave him space he is so dangerous. He is bright and alert and scores all types of goals. He just does not panic.
"If you are being really picky then obviously you would want him to be on the pitch more because he has had injuries. But what a talent and what a player.

We asked for your views on Newcastle's 4-0 victory over Tottenham on Saturday.
Here are some of your answers:
Newcastle fans
Daniel: Brilliant game to watch. It seems we have our passion for winning back, like how it was at the start of the season. Happy Bruno didn’t get a card, as it means no suspension. Amazing performance from all the lads.
Simon: What a performance. Brilliant work across the field. Strong defensive shape with players supporting each other. Brilliant going forward. I think this is our strongest, most switched on, performance this season. Well done Eddie, staff and players.
Matt: Eddie Howe's tactics today worked perfectly. Gordon, Isak and Barnes terrorised Spurs' high line and when we needed to defend the flexible back five worked well. Anyone still saying Eddie should be sacked surely can’t be saying anything after this. So proud of this team with all the injuries we’ve had.
Spurs fans
Bryan: Another awful away performance with some quite atrocious defending. Do we actually employ any defence coaches? And, yet again, Postecoglou is shown to have no plan B and is seemingly incapable of adapting his tactics to curtail the opposition. He's starting to divide Spurs fans. Personally I think he's out of his depth.
Paul: Wow! Another shocking defeat, but an even worse performance overall. We lost every 50/50 challenge and the defenders were in a constant state of panic. For the first time since he took over I was disappointed in Ange’s leadership and tactics. We should buy Isak as soon as possible as we need a quality striker who leads the line and carries a goal threat.
Joseph: Watching Spurs is like Groundhog Day. Every match is the same. Constant sideways and backwards passes with no creativity or penetration to break down the opposition. And shocking defending, especially at set-pieces. You can guarantee they'll let in a goal from a corner, leaving someone a free header. Ange's honeymoon period is over. Sort it out!

Newcastle 4-0 Tottenham: Analysispublished at 18:09 13 April
18:09 13 April
Timothy Abraham BBC Sport journalist
Eddie Howe hailed the ruthlessness shown by his Newcastle side after a thumping win over Tottenham in his post-match media duties.
No doubt the Magpies boss had Alexander Isak firmly in mind with those comments following two clinical finishes.
The 24-year-old Swedish forward now has 21 goals in 34 games in all competitions this season and has clearly taken a liking to playing in front of the Toon faithful.
Isak has netted in six consecutive matches at St James' Park.
He is fast cementing his place as the latest goalscorer to occupy a place in the heart of the Gallowgate.
Isak's exploits in the box are likely to see other clubs sniff about - but after shelling out £60m to bring him to Tynside it would take a truly staggering offer to prise him away.
European football feels within Newcastle's grasp after this victory, especially if Isak continues in this vein of form.
'We have a lot of energy and momentum now'published at 15:02 13 April
15:02 13 April
Alexander Isak speaking to BBC Match of the Day after Newcastle's victory against Tottenham: "Playing football is really fun at the moment, especially when we have days like this. When the fans are like they are always when we play at home, it feels like we are so strong here."
On service he gets from his teammates: "We have spoken about being more precise with our passes, because Tottenham have a high line so if we have good passes we can hurt them in behind. The service today was incredible."
On scoring in a sixth home game in a row: "You guys in the media always find more records and statistics to be beaten, but I just play and do my best. It is obviously a nice thing to have."
On turning form around since FA Cup exit: "We know we can still achieve something this season and end it in a good way. We have a lot of energy and momentum now, have turned things around and it is just about keeping on going like this."
Newcastle 4-0 Tottenham: What Howe said published at 14:54 13 April
14:54 13 April
Eddie Howe speaking to BBC Match of the Day after Newcastle's victory v Tottenham: "It was a great performance from us, I thought the players executed everything in a really professional, diligent way. Really pleased with the players."
On Newcastle's discipline: "We protected the lead really well because we went for more goals and were aggressive still. We looked in a really great place physically, were able to execute what we wanted to do, and I think everyone performed at a very good level."
On getting back-to-back wins: "I think that's why winning when you don't play well is such a skill and can't be underestimated because you will have your days when everything does go your way and I think we showed today that we can still be a very efficient team, ruthless with our attacking, very diligent and compact. Everything came together and we deservedly won."
On how deep the players have had to dig with the squad struggling with injuries: "Incredibly deep. I've complimented the players all season that the guys who have been fit for the whole season have carried the burden and have been outstanding. The mentality to the challenge has never wavered, we've had some difficult moments but they've come through them. Hopefully we can stay in relatively good shape between now and the end of the season and continue to pick up points."

Alexander Isak's rich goalscoring form at St James' Park continued as Newcastle beat Tottenham to boost their hopes of European football next season.
Isak produced two clinical finishes to score in each half as he netted on home turf for the sixth consecutive match.

Anthony Gordan and Fabian Schar were also on target for the Magpies, while Timo Werner had two chances for Spurs but his finishing let him down.
Newcastle's emphatic victory lifted them up to sixth in the table - a point ahead of Manchester United, who face Bournemouth at 17:30 BST on Saturday.
Spurs dropped to fifth and are still level on points with Aston Villa but below Unai Emery's side on goal difference.
