Newcastle beat Tottenham 2-0 in the Premier League, staying goalless through a tight first half before Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa scored in a short burst after the hour.
Match Summary
Neither side found a way through before the break. Tottenham held more of the ball, yet the first half stayed 0-0. Micky van de Ven was booked in the third minute and Nico González followed for Newcastle before the quarter-hour, but the cards did not open the game up. For an hour the pattern barely changed. The home side pushed without a finish, and Newcastle were content to wait.
The visitors finally led after 62 minutes. Anthony Elanga finished, with Amar Dedić supplying the assist. Tottenham still had time to respond, but Yoane Wissa made it two after 72 minutes, Nick Woltemade the provider. The scoring all arrived in that second-half spell. From there Newcastle managed the remainder without fuss, Sven Botman booked late as the away side saw out the result.
Key Moments
Tottenham's inability to turn territorial control into a first-half lead left the door open. Once Newcastle scored, the home side had to chase, and a second goal inside ten minutes made the deficit two. That burst, not a sending-off or a penalty, decided the afternoon.
