Tottenham celebrates as they thrash Newcastle 5-1 at home.

Despite Antonio Conte's team leapfrogging Arsenal just on goal difference but with same points, Mikel Arteta's men still have two games remaining, one of which is a visit against Crystal Palace this coming Monday in Premier League at Selhurst Park Stadium.

Following 39 minutes of play, Fabian Schar whipped in a free-kick, but Hugo Lloris was unable to stop the from going into the back of the net for the visitors.

Substitute Ben Davies headed the ball into the top corner in (43'min) in the first half from Son Heung-min's magnificent cross just before time expired.

A diving header from Tottenham's right-back Matt Doherty in a cross that came from Harry Kane with Son's exquisite finish in (54'min) gave Spurs a three-goal cushion after the interval.

After an outstanding buildup by Doherty, Emerson Royal slammed the ball into the back of the net in (63'min) just before the hour mark, while the Steven Bergwijn who was brought in added a late goal in (83'min).

Spurs have won 5 from their last 6 games in the Premier League, and are in good shape at the perfect time of the season. The lone loss was last month against a Manchester United team led by Cristiano Ronaldo.

For all of Antonio Conte's time in charge, the Italian has doubted his club and himself. But after a spirited comeback against Newcastle, Conte's side now has earned Fourteen points in this season from losing situations, the most from many other top EPL clubs

Even before visitors scored, they had two good chances to open the scoring: Eric Dier curled a free kick over while Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg header went wide from six yard mark.

Newcastle Centre-back Fabian Schär free-kick was superb that Lloris making strong touch with the ball was not possible, he could not stop the free-kick from going past the wall.

Son, who has scored nine goals in his past nine home games, was instrumental in Spurs' comeback, as he set up the opening goal and then netted his ninth goal of the season.

Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur, two of the club's new signings from the winter transfer window, were both instrumental in Son's goal, with Kulusevski's accuracy at 90% and Bentancur's at 85%.

Both are leading Tottenham's march into the Champions League with eight games remaining.

Spurs' fifth goal came from Bergwijn, who came on and sprinted through to upset Newcastle, whose record had improved following 9 games without even a loss.

However, Eddie Howe's team's recent run of success might have been enough to keep them inside the English Top Division despite the fact that five other struggling clubs are just below them in the race for survival.

To add to their woes, Newcastle succumbed to their third straight loss, putting them only 9 points clear off relegation spot.
