Newcastle United beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 to secure their first Premier League victory under new head coach Matthias Jaissle. Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa scored in the second half, while Spurs suffered their second consecutive defeat.
Newcastle vs Tottenham Match Summary
Elanga opened the scoring in the 62nd minute. He finished an attack created through the combination of Nico Gonzalez and Amar Dedic.
The goal was Elanga’s second of the league season. He had also scored in Newcastle’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool the previous week.
Wissa doubled Newcastle’s lead in the 72nd minute. He received the ball with his back to Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky before converting to secure the three points.
Why Tottenham Lost Again
Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi made five changes after the 3-0 opening defeat to Brentford. The reshuffle did not produce the required response.
Spurs failed to recover after Elanga’s opener and conceded again within 10 minutes. Two defeats from two league matches make their poor start impossible to dismiss as bad luck.
Newcastle were more decisive when the game opened up. Tottenham changed personnel, but Newcastle supplied the goals—and that is the only argument the scoreboard respects.
What the Result Means
The 2-0 win gives Jaissle his first Premier League victory as Newcastle manager. Elanga’s consecutive scoring performances also provide Newcastle with an early attacking positive.
Tottenham leave with no points from their opening two matches. Tactical changes now need to produce results, not merely a different team sheet.
Conclusion
Newcastle earned a deserved 2-0 victory through second-half goals from Elanga and Wissa. Tottenham’s five changes failed to stop another defeat, leaving De Zerbi under immediate pressure to correct a winless start.
