Tottenham eased to a 3-1 win over Newcastle on Sunday as they kept themselves in the Champions League qualification while pushing their opponents closer towards the scrap for survival.
Nacer Chadli's 20-yard strike put the visitors in front at a subdued St James' Park before Jack Colback's clinical finish just seconds after half-time briefly put John Carver's men back on level terms. The home side could not capitalise on that moment, however, and Mauricio Pochettino's side would eventually make their superiority show.
Christian Eriksen scored direct from an inswinging free-kick to restore Spurs' advantage before Harry Kane finished off a sweeping counter-attacking move in the first minute of added time to complete the final 3-1 scoreline.
The result means Spurs remain seven points behind Manchester City in the race for fourth, while Newcastle are just seven points above the relegation zone. With games against Leicester City and Queens Park Rangers still to come, that is far from the advantage it might sound like.
