Newcastle United secured a 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League match, with goals from Elanga and Wissa. The match saw Sandro Tonali, playing against his former club for the first time, struggle and be at fault for both goals, receiving a rating of 4 from BBC Sport.
Goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky had little to do in the first half but conceded after the break when Elanga's shot found the net off the post. Wissa's improvised effort later extended Newcastle's lead to 2-0.
Micky van de Ven received a booking early in the game but made a crucial sliding challenge to prevent Wissa from scoring. Jan Paul van Hecke's defensive block and comfort in possession helped Tottenham bypass Newcastle's press, and he also went close with a header. Andy Robertson was a threat going forward in the first half but could not prevent Dedic from winning a header that led to Elanga's goal.
Rodrigo Bentancur's work in breaking up play and winning back possession went largely unseen, earning him a rating of 5. Mateus Fernandes made his first Premier League start for Tottenham, looking to be positive and delivering corner threats in the first half. Pedro Porro, playing further forward on the right wing, had opportunities, with a shot blocked by Hall and a dipping volley going just over.
Debutante Omar Marmoush, who previously tormented Newcastle with Manchester City, hit the side netting with a volley and provided a smart reverse pass that created an opening for Robertson. Mathys Tel saw a stinging effort saved but was also noted for giving the ball away, resulting in a rating of 4.
Substitutions for Tottenham included Kudus and Moore, who came on in the 68th minute, replacing Tel and Gray respectively. Udogie also came on for Robertson in the 68th minute, and Dominic Solanke replaced Tonali in the 75th minute. All substitutes received a rating of 5. Unused substitutes for Tottenham were Dubravka, Senesi, Gallagher, Bergvall, and Davies.
