Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle -- Match Report: Toon Silences Expensive Spurs

Newcastle United secured its first Premier League win under Matthias Jaissle with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. After halftime, Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa scored, with goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek playing a key role by making several saves in the first half. Newcastle started the match looking better, but Tottenham’s chances improved after the midway point of the opening period. Pedro Porro’s effort was blocked, while Mathys Tel and Jan Paul van Hecke forced saves from Hornicek. The breakthrough came after Jaissle’s tactical change as Nico Gonzalez’s diagonal pass set up Dedic, whose header found Elanga for a left-footed finish. Soon after, Lewis Hall’s corner led to a Woltemade header, and Wissa improvised to score. Newcastle held firm to finish with Hornicek keeping a clean sheet, and Elanga and Wissa were replaced by Jacob Murphy and Jacob Ramsey. The win gives Newcastle four points from two games after drawing Liverpool, and Newcastle next hosts Bournemouth on Sept. 5.
