Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United

Newcastle left north London with a comfortable 2-0 win, handing Tottenham a second straight Premier League defeat without scoring in either game. It was a flat afternoon for the home crowd, who turned on their side by full time as the promise of a busy summer transfer window failed to translate onto the pitch. The visitors broke the deadlock through Anthony Elanga in the 62nd minute with a well-taken finish, before Yoane Wissa doubled the lead just ten minutes later in the 72nd. Tottenham were further hampered by the absence of winger Savio, who missed out with muscle fatigue, leaving Roberto De Zerbi short of attacking options as his side toiled for answers. For Tottenham, the result raises fresh questions despite roughly £320 million spent on eight new signings over the summer, with pundits suggesting the rebuilt squad simply needs time to click. For Newcastle, it was a landmark first win under new manager Matthias Jaissle, with both goalscorers looking revitalised under his approach and fans leaving optimistic about a push for European qualification.
