Fans joked that Jacob Murphy had sent Hugo Lloris into retirement after Newcastle stormed into an incredible lead against Tottenham. Versatile star Murphy scored an early brace to help the Magpies bag five goals before the 20-minute mark.
Murphy opened the scoring inside the first two minutes before Joelinton added a second four minutes later. The former Norwich winger then made it three with a stunning long-range strike in the ninth minute.
Murphy received the ball 35 yards from goal and space opened up, allowing him to take a few strides forward. The 28-year-old then let fly with a thumping strike.
The ball nestled in the bottom corner and Murphy’s exasperated expression told the story of an incredible 10 minutes. Lloris was rooted to the spot as he watched the ball fly into the net.
Fans took aim at the Frenchman for his horror first-half display. “This Hugo Lloris should retire already please, what is this Horrendous display,” @donad_lee tweeted, alongside several hysterical laughter emojis.
@Kwenaofficial had similar thoughts. They wrote: “Hugo Lloris must just retire.”
