People say that money can’t buy you happiness. Well, in Tottenham Hotspur’s case, they can’t buy you victories, either. Not even a single goal.A week after being thrashed by Brentford (3-0) in their Premier League opener, the sad Spurs lost at home to Newcastle 2-0. The club that spent over €350 million in this transfer window doesn’t have a single point in the league after two games and hasn’t scored a single goal in 180 minutes of football!Truth be told, Roberto De Zerbi’s men weren’t terrible today. On the contrary, they were better for most of the match but failed to convert their chances, especially before the break.No way out of the Forest – no win for LiverpoolOn the other hand, the Magpies patiently waited to seize the opportunity to stun the North London side, and it came midway through the second half, when their 10-minute blitzkrieg sealed Tottenham’s fate.Anthony Elanga, who broke the deadlock, and Yoane Wissa, who threw the final punch, were the visitors’ heroes, alongside Newcastle’s outstanding defence, which withstood the pressure and weathered the storm.The first Premier League win for Matthias Jaissle, and a new set of headaches for Roberto De Zerbi…⏱️ FULL-TIMENewcastle beat Tottenham and take all three points. ✨ Spurs have lost both of their Premier League games. 😬 pic.twitter.com/mdvNlcjUVK— Pro_Foot HQ (@ProFoot_HQ) August 29, 2026 During the opening 15 minutes, Newcastle were better, but Spurs dominated the final half hour of the first half, but had nothing to show for it, as they didn't manage to make their dominance count.The decisive factor in the Magpies' ranks was the goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek, who made a couple of terrific saves to deny Mathys Tel and Jan Paul van Hecke.However, neither team created a clear-cut chance, so the goalless scoreline at the break was the most realistic.Craze for the Senegalese: Giants in the race for NdiayeFor a quarter of an hour, the same story from the first period continued – Tottenham attacked, Newcastle waited for their chance. And it came in the 62nd minute, when the visitors broke the deadlock after a checkmate in three moves!A long ball found Amar Dedic on the right flank, he headed it for Anthony Elanga, who made a fantastic pirouette, and put the Magpies in front from their first shot on target in the game!⚫️⚪️ 𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐍! ⛓️💥 Anthony Elanga turns brilliantly before slotting the ball into the far bottom corner. 🌪️💥Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 Newcastle United (62’)#TottenhamHotspur #NewcastleUnited #PremierLeague #England #Football pic.twitter.com/NzozMxVLLz— Sportskeeda Football (@skworldfootball) August 29, 2026 Roberto De Zerbi reacted instantly, subbing on Destiny Udogie, Mikey Moore, and Mohammed Kudus in a desperate attempt to pursue at least an equalizer. However, instead of capitalizing on his men's decent performance, Newcastle showed how tricky rival they could be, doubling their lead in the 72nd minute – just four minutes after the Italian gaffer's changes!A single minute after coming off the bench, Nick Woltemade jumped the highest in the Spurs' box following a corner kick and set up a goal for Yoane Wissa, who acrobatically put the ball behind Antonin Kinsky's back with a sort of bicycle kick.The Congolese's strike turned out to be lethal, as the home team failed to get back on its feet, after being stunned. Newcastle's defence withstood the pressure and deservedly kept its first clean sheet of the season.As for De Zerbi, things don't look good. On the contrary, they look abysmal and the alarm bells in North London could soon start ringing.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 2FridayCrystal Palace – Manchester City 1-4 (0-1)/Donnarumma 56 og – Haaland 17, 84, Cherki 54, 59/SaturdayLiverpool – Nottingham Forest 2-2 (0-1)/Isak 60, Munoz 82 – Ndoye 24, Gibbs-White 70 pen/Bournemouth – Everton 1-1 (1-0)/Scott 41 – Tarkowski 90+1/Coventry – Hull 0-1 (0-0)/Millar 82/Tottenham – Newcastle 0-2 (0-0)/Elanga 62, Wissa 72/Sunday16.00: (1.90) Chelsea (3.50) Brighton (4.10)16.00: (2.65) Leeds (3.20) Brentford (2.75)16.00: (2.50) Sunderland (3.25) Fulham (2.90)18.30: (1.38) Manchester United (4.80) Ipswich (7.30)Monday22.00: (6.25) Aston Villa (4.00) Arsenal (1.55)***odds are subject to change***
