Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United met at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 29, 2026, with both sides seeking their first Premier League win of the season. 

Newcastle United secured a 2-0 victory, marking the first win under manager Matthias Jaissle. Goals were scored by Anthony Elanga in the 62nd minute and a spectacular overhead kick by Yoane Wissa in the 72nd minute. The win was supported by an impressive debut from Nico Gonzalez and a strong performance by goalkeeper Lukas Hönig.

The result leaves Tottenham at the bottom of the Premier League table with zero points and zero goals scored in their first two matches, marking the club’s worst start to a season since 1974. Despite significant summer investment exceeding £300 million—including the £100 million signing of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle—the club has struggled to find form. Tonali, making his home debut, was involved in the buildup to both Newcastle goals and received low performance ratings, drawing jeers from the crowd upon his substitution. Following the match, manager Roberto De Zerbi noted that Tonali is not yet in “peak physical shape.”

De Zerbi stated that while the team is not in a state of panic, they must improve their “mentality and connection on the pitch.” Furthermore, De Zerbi revealed that players Richarlison, Pape Matar Sarr, and Kevin Danso have expressed desires to leave the club, which may impact squad stability before the transfer window closes.

Newcastle continues to navigate personnel changes following the departures of Bruno Guimarães and Tonali, while managing absences including Joelinton, Dan Burn, Tino Livramento, and William Osula.
