Tottenham's woes continued as they succumbed to a second straight defeat in the Premier League, losing 2-0 to Newcastle United in a match that had its share of tension but ultimately saw the hosts unable to find their footing.
The first half ended goalless, with both sides testing each other but failing to break the deadlock. However, Newcastle turned the tide in their favour shortly after the interval. On 62 minutes, Anthony Elanga opened the scoring with an assist from Amar Dedic. Just ten minutes later, Joao Vissa doubled the visitors' lead following a decisive play from substitute Nick Voltemade. Despite a triple substitution from Spurs—bringing on Kudus, Udogie, and Moore—plus the introduction of Solanke, the London side couldn’t shift the momentum, and Newcastle held firm for a confident away victory.
