Spurs Continue to Flounder as Newcastle Claim the Spoils
- On Saturday, Newcastle defeated Tottenham 2-0 in London, handing the hosts their second consecutive Premier League loss. Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa scored second-half goals, marking Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle's first league win.
- Despite spending over £300 million in the close-season, Tottenham have failed to score in their opening two league matches. This extends frustration following a 3-0 defeat at Brentford last weekend under manager Roberto De Zerbi.
- Returning to his former club, midfielder Sandro Tonali faced taunts from Newcastle fans after his £100 million July transfer. The Italian missed a close-range chance before the break, then was substituted amid jeers from traveling supporters.
- Elanga opened the scoring in the 62nd minute, controlling Amar Dedic's cushioned header before finishing from inside the area. Wissa doubled the lead in the 72nd minute with a clever flick, killing off the match as frustrated fans exited early.
- For the first time since 1992-93, Tottenham have failed to score in their opening two league games of a season. A midweek 5-1 League Cup rout of Charlton proved a false dawn for De Zerbi's struggling side.
