Ange Postecoglou hailed the industry of fit-again Richarlison and the leadership of Son Heung-min as Tottenham ended a five-game winless run in style.<\/p>\n
Richarlison scored twice in a 4-1 win against Newcastle, on his first start since groin surgery and Postecoglou said: ‘Since he’s come back, it’s fair to say he feels a lot better physically and that’s helped him mentally as well.<\/p>\n
‘Great for him to get two goals today, but it wasn’t just his goals, it was his general work rate, energy and physicality.’<\/p>\n
On Son, who created the first two and scored the fourth from the penalty spot, the Spurs boss said: ‘Sonny really set the tone for us early on. Whenever he got the ball he was really positive with it.<\/p>\n
‘That’s what you need from leadership and I think the rest of the lads fed off that. We were a lot more threatening in that front third than we have been.’<\/p>\n
Destiny Udogie scored Tottenham’s first and Joelinton scored a late consolation for Newcastle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
