the temporary technician Cristian Stellini said that the performance of Tottenham in the first 25 minutes of Sunday’s humiliating 6-1 thrashing of Newcastle United was the “worst” he had ever seen.
Spurs started Sunday’s game four back but conceded five goals in the first 21 minutes, prompting Stellini to replace midfielder Pape Matar Sarr with defender Davinson Sánchez and revert to his usual back three.
“There are no words to explain a performance like this. The first 25 minutes were probably the worst I’ve ever seen,” Stellini told reporters. “I hope it was a wrong decision that we changed, to give us energy. If that’s the case, it’s my responsibility. The four of us played and if that’s a mistake, it’s my mistake.”
The victory moved Newcastle into third place with 59 points, six ahead of Spurs, who also play another game and host Manchester United on Thursday.
