Man City go top after thrashing Luton, Spurs crash

LONDON: Champions Manchester City turned up the heat on their Premier League title rivals with a 5-1 home win over relegation-threatened Luton Town to move top of the table on Saturday .

Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of finishing fourth and ensuring a Champions League berth were dealt a blow as they were hammered 4-0 at Newcastle United who moved into sixth place to boost their own European hopes. Nottingham Forest missed the chance to do the same as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Wolverhampton Wanderers. Forest are in 17th place, one point above third-from bottom Luton Town and six ahead of 19th-placed Burnley who drew 1-1 at home to Brighton and Hove Albion.

Luton hung in grimly but Mateo Kovacic's strike made it 2-0 before Haaland converted a penalty for his 20th league goal of the season. Isak made it 3-0 to take his league tally for the season to 17 and Fabian Schar added a fourth late on."Newcastle were good, credit to them, I thought they were really good today. We just didn't really get a grip of the game at all," Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou said.

"The second half was much better, the good thing is we fought back twice," manager Erik Ten Had said.
