The Magpies are on the same points - but goal difference puts them above - as United but have played one more game.
Newcastle United overpowered Tottenham Hotspur by picking up a 6-1 victory in a Premier League match on Saturday at St James Park.
The loss is a setback for the Spurs’ hopes of finishing in the top four.
Meanwhile, the Magpies ran riot against a stunned Spurs and, in the second minute, broke the deadlock.
Joelinton was given room to advance to the box from the left side as Christian Romero and Sergio Porro backed off. His shot was parried away by Hugo Lloris, but Jacob Murphy was lurking around to slam home the opener.
Newcastle scored the second three minutes after breaking the deadlock, and this time, Joelinton was the scorer.
Fabian Schar launched a cross forward over Romero, and while Porro did all he could to deny the Brazilian shooting space, the Newcastle forward got his first touch before he fired past Lloris.
