Matthias Jaissle leads Newcastle United to victory over Tottenham

Matthias Jaissle has secured his first victory as head coach of Newcastle United following a 2-0 away win against Tottenham Hotspur. The result comes just three weeks after Jaissle replaced Eddie Howe at the club.

Newcastle demonstrated a clear tactical identity during the match, characterized by organized rotations and effective positioning. The opening goal was scored by Anthony Elanga, who capitalized on a sequence involving Nico Gonzalez and Amar Dedic. Jaissle highlighted Dedic’s offensive role, noting their previous working relationship at Red Bull Salzburg.

In contrast, Tottenham Hotspur struggled with cohesion despite their high-profile roster. The match also featured Sandro Tonali, who moved from Newcastle to Spurs in a £100m transfer in July.
