Son Heung-min spearheaded Tottenham Hotspur to a resounding 4-1 victory over Newcastle United, ending their five-match Premier League winless streak at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
After a string of disappointing home results, Spurs returned to their earlier-season form, fueled by Son’s exceptional playmaking and clinical finishing.
Operating wide left, Son mesmerized former Spurs teammate Kieran Trippier, creating the first goal with a delightful cross for Destiny Udogie’s debut strike. He then repeated the trick, leaving Trippier helpless and providing the perfect assist for Richarlison to double the lead.
Newcastle started both halves brightly, but Tottenham quickly extinguished their hopes. Richarlison added his second goal from close range, and Son capped off his stellar performance by winning and converting a penalty in the 85th minute.
Joelinton managed a late consolation for Newcastle, who remain seventh in the standings. However, the victory propelled Tottenham to fifth place, solidifying their position in the top half of the table.
This match showcased Tottenham’s attacking prowess, with Son and Richarlison forming a potent partnership. Their resurgence will be a welcome sight for Spurs fans as they look to climb the table and challenge for a Champions League spot.
