Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League campaign continued with further setbacks as Newcastle United claimed a 2-0 victory at North London. The defeat marks Tottenham's second consecutive loss, extending their dismal start to the season. Goals from Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa secured Newcastle's first league win under new manager Matthias Jaissle.
The match highlighted Tottenham's defensive struggles, with the team conceding twice in the second half. Roberto De Zerbi's side, still winless, faces mounting pressure as their season begins. Mathys Tel, a key player, came under intense scrutiny after a controversial free-kick that fans labeled as the worst in Premier League history.
Tottenham's struggles were compounded by the return of Mohammed Kudus, who ended a 237-day absence but could not prevent the loss. The defeat adds to a growing list of challenges for the club, with questions surrounding their ability to compete at the top of the league.
Newcastle's victory not only boosts their own position but also intensifies the pressure on Tottenham's management as the season progresses.
