Newcastle United picked up a thumping win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League yesterday.
The Magpies secured a 4-0 win at home and climbed into the top six.
The defeat will come as a major blow for Tottenham Hotspur, especially with Champions League qualification at stake. The defeat saw them drop down to fifth in the league table with Aston Villa overtaking them in the race for Champions League qualification.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can bounce back strongly and secure their place in the top four by the end of the season.
Tottenham have impressed with their performances this season, but their inconsistency remains a major concern.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes was spotted taunting the Tottenham midfielder Giovani Lo Celso after the game. The Brazilian international was seen counting four on his fingers, reacting to the final score.
The Argentine international was not happy with the taunting from Guimaraes and the two players were involved in a flare-up.

Giovani Lo Celso with TottenhamThe gesture is hardly a surprise, especially when it involves the South American rivalry between Brazil and Argentina. Guimaraes will be delighted with the performance of his team and the result here. As for Lo Celso, the defeat will have inflicted crushing disappointment on the player and the gesture from Guimaraes only added to his misery.
Reacting to the situation, some fans felt that conduct from the Newcastle midfielder was unsporting and embarrassing. With that, such instances are quite common between players involved in the Brazil vs Argentina rivalry.
Both Guimaraes and Lo Celso are professionals and they will certainly move on from this quickly. It will be interesting to see if Spurs and Newcastle can finish the season strongly and finish as high as possible in the league table.
