Just over half an hour into the match, he struck.
Anthony Gordon found Alexander Isak, who conjured away Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven to make it 1-0 to Newcastle.
And just seconds later, another Tottenham defender had missed as Gordon smashed home a pass to make it 2-0.
In the second half, he struck again. Bruno Guimaraes hit a long ball and Isak took the run past van de Ven, then he placed the ball into the net for 3-0 to Newcastle.
– We had a slightly different game plan and I thought we executed it in a fantastic way, he tells Viaplay.
Now he has touched Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s Swedish record of 17 goals in one season in the Premier League.
Erling Haaland leads the league in scoring with 20 goals.
Newcastle eventually won 4-0.
