The Newcastle players celebrate Yoane Wissa's goal which doubled their lead
Second-half goals by Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa helped Newcastle inflict a second consecutive defeat of the Premier League season on big-spending Tottenham.
Eight players have been signed by Spurs this summer and they spent £100million (€1,168,000) on tempting Sandro Tonali away from the Magpies, but the North East club had the last laugh in the capital with a professional display to get Matthias Jaissle off the mark with his first win in the division.
Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi fielded five of his new additions and Manchester City loan forward Omar Marmoush went close during a first half where the hosts were the better team.
However, ex-Newcastle midfield Tonali switched off to allow Elanga to open the scoring in the 62nd minute before Wissa grabbed a second 10 minutes later for a 2-0 victory.
Spurs pushed for a response but could not find a way through to ensure Jaissle celebrated a maiden Premier League win while opposite number De Zerbi tasted defeat at home for the first time since his arrival in March.
