Newcastle grind down Spurs with second-half double
Tottenham started Omar Marmoush up front in their home Premier League opener and outplayed Newcastle for large stretches, but the visitors struck in the second half through Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa to seal a 2-0 win, leaving Spurs winless after two league matches. The performance showed improvements over the Brentford game, with Marmoush’s hold-up play and a sharper central approach, though Spurs couldn’t convert their chances and were punished by two well-timed goals from Newcastle.
