Tottenham turned out a shocking second half performance as they were thrashed 4-1 by a resurgent Newcastle at White Hart Lane.
Darren Bent gave Spurs a first half lead when he expertly headed past Steve Harper from a Steed Malbranque cross.
But Newcastle grabbed a vital equaliser on the stroke of half time when Jonathon Woodgate failed to clear and the ball was teed up for Nicky Butt to level with a scuffed shot from the edge of the box.
And Spurs failed to come out in the second half.
Newcastle went in front just after the break when Geremi curled a free kick past the motionless Paul Robinson.
And a Mark Viduka stepover allowed Michael Owen to curl home a third as Spurs' defence capitulated.
Owen should have had another when he easily turned Michael Dawson but he put his shot over.
But Newcastle got their fourth when Obafemi Martin went through a calimitous home defence and slotted past Robinson.
