Tottenham – Newcastle

Tottenham’s home ground turned into a proving ground for Newcastle, who walked away with a 2‑0 victory and a much-needed three points. The result left the Spurs languishing in 17th place with just two points from four games, still winless and with a grim –5 goal difference. Newcastle, now tenth, climbed to five points after their first win of the campaign, improving their tally to six goals scored while conceding four. The fixture also settled the season’s head‑to‑head, giving the Magpies the sole win in the two meetings so far. Both sides will now look to build on the outcome as the league race tightens.
