Newcastle United claimed their first Premier League win of the 2025/26 season with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. The result extended Tottenham’s losing streak to two matches, leaving them at the bottom of the table with zero points. Goals from Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa secured the win for Newcastle, who continue their strong start to the campaign.
Tottenham, who had been struggling with consistency, saw their woes deepen as they failed to register a single goal. The defeat marked a difficult opening for the team, which has yet to find form after a challenging pre-season. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s new-look squad showed promise, with Elanga and Wissa playing pivotal roles in the victory.
The match also saw the return of Mohammed Kudus to competitive action after a 237-day absence due to injury. Kudus, who joined Tottenham this summer, faced off against his former team, adding a personal dimension to the contest. Despite the setback, Tottenham’s manager remains focused on turning their fortunes around in the coming weeks.
Newcastle’s win keeps them in third place, while Tottenham remain winless. The result highlights the disparity in form between the two clubs as the season progresses.
