Jaissle off the mark! Newcastle beat Tottenham as Elanga and Wissa strike at Spurs
Newcastle United secured a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, marking manager Matthias Jaissle's first win. Goals from Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa sealed the result, while Tottenham's loss leaves them without a goal or point in their opening two matches.
Why it matters
The result highlights a difficult start for Tottenham under Roberto De Zerbi and showcases the early impact of Newcastle's new management and signings.
Matthias Jaissle has officially announced his arrival in England, securing his first Premier League victory as Newcastle United manager with a clinical 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur. The Magpies displayed defensive resilience and attacking efficiency to leave North London with all three points.
This fixture maintained its proud, unbroken streak of producing goals in every Premier League meeting since the 1992 revamp, courtesy of a brilliant 62nd-minute breakthrough. £52m summer signing Nico Gonzalez provided the spark on his Newcastle debut , playing a key role in setting up the opening goal after his arrival from Manchester City.
Gonzalez picked out Amar Dedic, whose sharp header picked out Anthony Elanga in space. Building on his goal against Liverpool the previous weekend, the Swedish international calmly created room inside the area - elegantly turning away from former Newcastle teammate Sandro Tonali before drilling a precise low strike home.
