Newcastle condemn dismal Spurs to second successive defeat
Big-spending Tottenham conceded twice in the second half to extend their dismal start to the season with a 2-0 loss to Newcastle.
In a second successive Premier League loss, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United on Saturday. The match took place in north London, where Newcastle's Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa guided their team to a convincing victory. Roberto De Zerbi's Tottenham had a disappointing start to the season, having spent over £300 million in the transfer market, yet failed to score in their first two league games.
The team's performance was further hampered by injuries, as defender Savio missed the match due to a muscular injury. Despite a promising start in their League Cup fixture against Charlton, Tottenham's hopes of an exciting season were quickly dashed. Newcastle's manager Matthias Jaissle celebrated his first Premier League win after a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in his first game as the club's new manager.
The victory came after a disappointing 3-0 loss to Brentford in the opening game last weekend. Tottenham's inability to score in their opening two matches has left them without the momentum needed for a successful season.
