Newcastle fullback Trippier: Isak unbelievable against Tottenham

Newcastle United fullback Kieran Trippier was full of praise for their strikers after victory over Tottenham.

The Toon thrashed Spurs 6-1 on Sunday.

Trippier said: "We let the supporters down last week and it was about responding well. I thought we did that.

"We got some goals early in the game. We showed throughout the season we want to be on the front foot.

"I thought Alex Isak was unbelievable. It's healthy competition with Callum Wilson. Nobody complains when they don't play.

"We shouldn't be scared to say we want to to play Champions League football. The games are running out. This stadium would be bouncing with Champions League football.

"I played for Eddie Howe before so I knew what he demanded in training and off the pitch. The players here before him, Almiron, Joelinton, Murphy, have done unbelievable. That comes down to the gaffer's coaching. He's making them believe how good they are."
