Newcastle condemn dismal Spurs to second successive defeat

Tottenham Hotspur suffered a second consecutive Premier League defeat, falling 2-0 to Newcastle United in a match that marked the club's disappointing start to the season. The win extended Newcastle's unblemished record, coming after a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in their first game under new manager Matthias Jaissle. Despite spending over £300 million in the transfer window, Tottenham struggled to score in their first two league matches this season.

New signings Omar Marmoush and Sandro Tonali failed to make an impact, with the latter facing jeers from fans during his debut. Newcastle's Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa were the heroes, with Elanga scoring the opening goal and Wissa sealing the victory late in the game.
