Newcastle United

After a goalless first half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Elanga's swivelled finish fired the visitors in front shortly after the hour mark.

Wissa's improvised finish, his first competitive goal since January, doubled United's advantage as Matthias Jaissle recorded his first Premier League win in charge of the Magpies.

The German head coach made six changes from Wednesday's 3-2 win against West Bromwich Albion in the Carabao Cup, with Nico González making his Magpies bow following his transfer from Manchester City.

Targeting a third successive away win against Spurs, Newcastle went close to taking the lead inside the opening 60 seconds.

Elanga, who netted his first Premier League goal for Newcastle in last weekend's 2-2 draw against Liverpool, latched onto Amar Dedić's clever header following Nico González's long-range pass but the Swedish winger's cross-cum shot was turned out by Archie Gray at the back post.

Lukáš Horníček produced a strong stop to prevent Mathys Tel from breaking the deadlock as the French forward cut inside from the left flank before his curling effort was pushed away by the Czech shot-stopper.

Lewis Hall produced a heroic last-ditch block to prevent Pedro Porro from firing Spurs ahead minutes later, turning the Spanish full-back's close-range effort over the crossbar.

The Spurs full-back went close in front of goal as the Magpies defence were unable to clear from a short corner before his volley from the edge of the box flew wide of the target.

Wissa went close to netting his first Premier League goal since December as the DR Congo international attempted to fire a shot at goal inside the six-yard area after Elanga nodded the ball into the African striker's path but his effort was blocked by Micky van de Ven.

Horníček carried out two terrific saves before the half-time whistle, beating away Andy Robertson's low drive from an acute angle. From the resulting corner, the Czech 'keeper was alert to pushing away Jan Paul van Hecke's close-range header.

Lewis Hall went close to breaking the deadlock shortly after the restart as the left-back cut inside on the edge of the box before his curling right-footed effort flew over the crossbar.

In the 62nd minute, Elanga broke the deadlock for United. After Nico's impressive long-range pass flew into Dedić's path, the Bosnian full-back nodded the ball into Elanga's path before the Swedish frontman produced a neat turn before firing the ball into the net via the left-hand post.

Horníček prevented Porro from drawing Spurs level as the Spaniard's fierce drive from the edge of the box was tipped over the crossbar by the 24-year-old 'keeper.

In the 72nd minute, Newcastle extended their advantage as Wissa netted his first goal of the 2026/27 campaign. After Hall's inviting corner from the right flank was nodded towards substitute Nick Woltemade, Wissa was on hand to turn the ball home from close-range.

Horníček ensured a first clean sheet of his Magpies career in the closing stages, holding Omar Marmoush's volley after Mateus Fernandes' cross found the unmarked Egyptian inside the penalty area.

There was a brief Premier League debut for Bazoumana Touré as the Ivorian winger, who scored on his competitive Magpies bow during Wednesday's win against West Brom, was introduced in stoppage-time.

Newcastle United: Lukáš Horníček, Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Nico González (Sean Steur 71), Yoane Wissa (Jacob Ramsey 82), Harvey Barnes (Bazoumana Touré 90), Malick Thiaw (c), Anthony Elanga (Jacob Murphy 82), Joe Willock (Nick Woltemade 71), Amar Dedić, Lewis Miley.

The Spanish midfielder, who arrived on Tyneside from Manchester City earlier this week, is one of six changes from Wednesday's 3-2 win against West Bromwich Albion in the Carabao Cup.

Goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček, who made his Premier League debut in last week's 2-2 draw against Liverpool, replaces Ewen Jaouen in-between the sticks.

Head coach Matthias Jaissle has named an unchanged backline for a third consecutive game, with Malick Thiaw and Sven Botman situated at the heart of United's defence, while Amar Dedić and Lewis Hall are set to play on the respective flanks.

González, who made his Premier League bow against Newcastle in February 2025, will line up alongside Lewis Miley in the middle of the park.

Harvey Barnes, who netted a second half brace against West Brom, as well as Joe Willock and Anthony Elanga are named in the starting 11 as they aim to provide attacking support for Yoane Wissa, who has three goal involvements in his last three league outings against Spurs.

Jaissle has a number of options to deploy from the substitutes' bench if required, including Jacob Ramsey who netted the winning goal in last season's 2-1 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Nick Woltemade, who scored in United's 2-0 win against Tottenham in the Carabao Cup last season, is also named on the bench as well as Bazoumana Touré, Jacob Muphy, Sean Steur and Aladji Bamba.

Fabian Schär and Leo Shahar, the latter targeting his Premier League debut, are defensive reinforcements.

Newcastle United: Lukáš Horníček, Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, Nico González, Yoane Wissa, Harvey Barnes, Malick Thiaw (c), Anthony Elanga, Joe Willock, Amar Dedić, Lewis Miley.

United travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend for their first away game of the new Premier League season, having been denied a win over Liverpool on the opening day by Dominik Szoboszlai's last-gasp penalty in the dying seconds of the 2-2 draw.

The German boss also spoke about his ahead of the trip to the capital, where Newcastle won 2-1 last term.

Jaissle spoke to the media on Thursday evening ahead of the clash with Roberto De Zerbi's men, who could hand a home debut to former Magpie Sandro Tonali. Here are some of the main talking points from his pre-match briefing:

On former Manchester City man González...

"He trained with us and he looked sharp. He's an option.

"He is a smart player, he has huge potential, and already he brings huge quality to the squad."

On Spurs...

"We will be facing a top team. It is a difficult change.

"We will not change our approach. We are facing a really strong opponent. With our playing style, we can cause any opponents problems."

On his start to life at Newcastle...

"I was really blessed with the warm welcome they gave me.

"I have seen the atmosphere in the stadium already from these two competitive matches - it was really special.

"This is a special club. We have a clear idea of how we want to play football. We will not change our approach."

On the potential in his young squad...

"We want to build on what we are building.

"With the young lads we need to expect up and downs. I am really much looking forward to this journey.

Vakhtang Salia's terrific finish fired Newcastle's second-string into an early lead at Whitley Park but the hosts, despite a dominant start, found themselves on level terms before the break following Reiss Elliott-Parris' strike.

Newcastle, however, were left empty-handed as quick-fire second half efforts, courtesy of Alfie Dorrington and Tyrese Hall, proved the difference on Tyneside.

Under-21s Lead Coach Robbie Stockdale made four changes from last week's National League Cup clash against Tamworth as Mason Miley, Dylan Charlton, Salia and Rory Finneran, the latter captaining the hosts, were all named in the starting 11.

Newcastle's second-string almost took the lead inside the opening 60 seconds as Sean Neave, who netted ten Premier League 2 goals last season, latched onto Finneran's wonderfully weighted pass in-behind the Spurs defence but the 19-year-old forward's first-time effort was blocked over the bar by Tottenham goalkeeper Samual Archer.

The hosts' bright start was rewarded as Salia opened the scoring in the eighth minute. The Georgian striker, who celebrates his 19th birthday on Sunday, controlled Trevan Sanusi's neat pass on the edge of the box before firing a clinical low effort into the bottom left-hand corner.

Newcastle continued their attacking dominance as Neave missed a golden opportunity to double Newcastle's lead. After Sanusi's shot at goal was blocked into Matheos Ferreira's path, the 18-year-old winger fired a first-time pass across the six-yard area but Neave lifted his close-range attempt over the crossbar.

United's youngsters were dealt a blow before the half-hour mark as Sanusi, who made his professional debut for the Magpies in an Emirates FA Cup third round tie against Bromley during the 2024/25 season, was withdrawn due to injury.

Newcastle maintained their one-goal cushion despite the visitors going close to levelling the league clash through Hall as the Jamaica international lashed a low effort wide of the right-hand post.

Magpies goalkeeper George Mair, making his Premier League 2 bow, produced an excellent one-handed save to deny Harry Byrne from equalising, getting across to push away the midfielder's bending effort before the England U17 international held Damola Ajayi's powerful strike minutes later.

The 16-year-old shot-stopper's hopes of a clean sheet were dashed in the 36th minute as Spurs levelled the scoring through Elliott-Parris as the Spurs frontman latched onto Ellis Lehane's pass inside the box before slotting the ball into the bottom right-hand corner.

In the second half, Ferreira was unable to restore Newcastle's lead as the Ashington-born winger, who made his senior debut for his boyhood club in last month's pre-season friendly against Gateshead, raced onto a lofted pass in-behind the Spurs backline but his resulting effort was held by Archer.

Newcastle suffered a tough blow in the 67th minute as Dorrington scored for the visitors. After the Magpies defence were unable to deal with a short corner, the ball eventually fell into the defender's path before his deflected effort dropped into the right-hand corner.

Michael Mills, introduced at the restart in place of Neave, went close to drawing Newcastle level as the Manchester-born winger, a representative of England at U17 level, collected Afner Cá's pass before firing a low effort wide from the edge of the penalty area.

Newcastle's youngsters were immediately punished as Hall extended Spurs' lead in the 71st minute, controlling a pass inside the box before curling the ball into the top right-hand corner.

Newcastle United Under-21s: George Mair, Mason Miley, Dylan Charlton, Miodrag Pivaš (Luke Craggs 46), Henry Johnson, Scott Bailey, Matheos Ferreira, Rory Finneran (c) (Fraser Harper 85), Vakhtang Salia (Afner Cá 68), Sean Neave (Michael Mills 46), Trevan Sanusi (Park Seung-soo 24).

Sandro departs St. James’ Park having made 110 appearances for the club, scoring ten goals in all competitions.

The 26-year-old, who joined from AC Milan in summer 2023, leaves having also won major silverware on Tyneside. He played an influential role as the club lifted the Carabao Cup in March 2025, and he featured a further 53 times last season, including 11 appearances in the UEFA Champions League.

Everybody at Newcastle United thanks Sandro for his contribution to the club and wishes him and his family well for the future.

The Magpies went into the North London clash firmly united after a tough run of fixtures of late - and started on the front foot as they applied early pressure.

Malick Thiaw found the net in the closing stages of the first-half to open the scoring, moments after Joe Willock had seen an effort chalked off for a narrow offside.

Archie Gray levelled the tie from a corner routine in the second period but Jacob Ramsey had the final say, popping up with his first Newcastle goal to seal all three points for his side. Tottenham, in the hours after the game, took the decision to relieve Thomas Frank of his duties as manager.

*A reminder to update the Official Newcastle United App to keep getting alerts!*

For Newcastle, there is hope Tuesday's victory may act as a springboard towards the business end of a busy campaign.

"It's a huge, huge win, a huge three points for us, especially if you look at the last games," Malick Thiaw told NewcastleUnited.com. "We were struggling, we have to be honest, but it's a huge win for us spiritually and mentally. We are really happy for this one."

You can relive the action below as we bring you the best pictures from United's 2-1 victory in the Premier League. Enjoy!

Eddie Howe, Newcastle United manager, speaking to TNT Sports:

On the win: "Good performance from us tonight. A strange game because I don't think we deserved to be level when Tottenham scored against the run of play. Big credit to the lads because the game could have got away from us but we responded really well, scored a second goal, and thankfully defended the last few minutes really well.

On Ramsey's strike: “Really good goal. I mean, he's such a good technical player and I thought you saw that.

“I thought the two number eights today for us, Joe Willock and Jacob Ramsey, were excellent today. Physically really good.

“I thought we controlled the first half in part due to them and Bruno's performance. So I was really happy and delighted he scored, because I think he needed that sort of recognition because his recent performances have been very good.”

Jacob Ramsey, Newcastle United's match-winner, speaking to TNT Sports:

On finally getting off the mark in black and white: “It has been a while. I have been playing different positions and today was playing a little bit higher up. The manager is demanding I need to get my numbers up and thankfully I got my goal today.”

Thomas Frank, Tottenham Hotspur manager, speaking to TNT Sports:
