Anthony Elanga is starting to look like a bargain. The £55 million man put Newcastle United ahead 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 29, scoring for the second consecutive Premier League match.
His opening goal against Spurs came just six days after he netted his first Premier League goal for Newcastle in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
Two matches, two goals, zero losses
Newcastle entered this fixture still searching for their first win of the 2026/27 Premier League season. The opening-day draw against Liverpool was encouraging but ultimately unsatisfying.
Tottenham’s situation was even less comfortable. Spurs lost their season opener, meaning this match carried early-season urgency for both sides.
