Tottenham 0-2 Newcastle: Elanga & Wissa strike again as Spurs lose second straight (highlights)

A nightmare start for Roberto De Zerbi at Tottenham continues. Spurs suffered a second consecutive Premier League defeat, losing 0-2 to Newcastle United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Anthony Elanga opened the scoring in the 62nd minute with a brilliant solo effort, turning Sandro Tonali inside the box and firing a low shot off the post past Antonin Kinsky. The goal came against the run of play — Spurs had dominated the first half with 57.5% possession, 17 shots, and 6 on target, while Newcastle didn't register a single effort on goal before the break. Yoane Wissa doubled the lead just 10 minutes later, producing an acrobatic overhead finish after Nick Woltemade headed down a corner. Newcastle goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek made four saves to keep his first clean sheet of the season. After the game, De Zerbi remained defiant, insisting he knows where the team is going and that it's impossible to change two years in one transfer window. He also pointed to the 400 million pounds spent on signings as part of a long-term plan. Matthias Jaissle, however, was full of praise for his side's defensive stability and debutant Nico Gonzalez. The result leaves Spurs bottom of the table with zero points, while Newcastle climb to third. Can De Zerbi turn this around before the fans' patience runs out?
