  "account": "Newcastle United secured a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, continuing their unbeaten start to the 2026/27 season. The Magpies scored through Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa, who have both returned from injuries and are playing well. However, the standout performance of the night belonged to right-back Amar Dedic, who joined Newcastle this summer. The 24-year-old Bosnian, signed from RB Salzburg for £29.5 million, was a revelation, contributing to both goals and a clean sheet. Dedic's intelligence and intelligent play on both ends of the pitch earned him praise, with observers calling his performance \"intelligent.\" If his early showings are anything to go by, Dedic could be one of the best signings of the summer, potentially even a steal for Newcastle. His energy, physicality, and quality in possession have given the Magpies a new dimension down the right, and his ability to contribute in the final third has been particularly impressive. Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle may have unearthed a genuine gem from the Red Bull pipeline, making Dedic a highly sought-after player by journalists at the press conference.",
