Big-spending Tottenham crashed to a second successive Premier League defeat as Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa inspired Newcastle’s 2-0 win on Saturday.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side conceded twice in the second half in north London to extend their dismal start to the season.

Elanga put Newcastle ahead before Wissa killed off lacklustre Tottenham as their frustrated fans streamed to the exits long before the final whistle.
