Eddie Howe insisted “nothing’s done” despite seeing Newcastle rout Tottenham 6-1 to take a significant step towards a top-four Premier League finish.

The Magpies blasted their way into a 5-0 lead inside 21 minutes on a remarkable afternoon at St James’ Park to leave managerless Spurs, who this week also lost managing director of football Fabio Paratici, in their wake in the race for Champions League qualification.
