Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle Player Ratings: A Spirited Performance From The Magpies Secures Jaissle's First EPL Victory Against An Equally Dispirited Side

Fresh off their 3-0 defeat to Brentford, Tottenham took on Matthias Jaissle's Newcastle United in a matchday 2 fixture of the 2026/27 Premier League. The hosts were totally on top in the first half, where they gave the Magpies very little to play for.

Tottenham Hotspur looked a better side than they did against Brentford, as their attacking part of the game seemed to have improved drastically. They created a lot of chances, which resulted in four shots on target, but none of them resulted in a goal.

On the other hand, Newcastle United failed to get even one shot on target and had to defend quite cautiously. Their regulation of play in the midfield was completely blocked off, as they kept losing possession most of the time and were up against dangerous counterattacks.

It took 62 minutes to find the breakthrough, as Newcastle took the lead through Anthony Elanga when Nico González's magnificent pass was nodded down by Amar Dedić to finish home. Ten minutes later, Yoane Wissa scored the second as Lewis Hall's delivery was smartly headed back in the area by Nick Woltemade for the Congo DR international to score.

This game mared Tottenham's second defeat in a row in the league this season, while Newcastle's bitterwseet ending in the Liverpool game finally turned to be beautiful against an opponent who had too much to show for with zero end result.
