Jacob Murphy scored twice, while goals from Joeliton, Joe Willock and Alexander Isak completed the first half humiliation.
Just before 3pm the alert went out to over 85million phones on 4G or 5G networks.
It didn’t take fans long to take to Twitter with their reaction and many were making the same joke.
One tweeted: ” Spurs fans probably thought that emergency alert was another goal notification.”
A second said: ” Didn’t realise the Government emergency alert at 3pm was going to be about the Spurs score.”
A third replied: “Tottenham are losing so bad they triggered an emergency alert.”
A fourth added: ” No way Rishi sent out an emergency alert to the whole country to tell us Tottenham get battered everywhere they go everywhere they goooo.”
While another said: “A nationwide emergency Alert will take place at 3pm – in the Tottenham Hotspur dressing room.”

Football fans had previously been warned to switch off their phones just before 3pm to avoid distracting the players.
Deputy PM Oliver Dowden said: “Keep calm and carry on, that is the British way and it is exactly what the country will do when they receive this test at 3pm today.
“The Government’s No1 job is to keep people safe. This is another tool in the toolkit for emergencies such as flooding or wildfires, and where there is a genuine risk.
“So it really is the sound that could save your life.”
