Overview
- Newcastle secured a 2-0 win at Tottenham on Saturday with Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa scoring to give Matthias Jaissle four points from his first two league matches.
- New signing Nico Gonzalez made a key debut contribution by playing the pass that led to Elanga’s opener, and Lukas Horníček kept a clean sheet with several important first-half saves.
- Jaissle praised the club’s 'DNA' as a fit for his pressing and structure and said players have quickly adapted to his ideas after he was appointed on August 5.
- The squad has been heavily remodelled in a summer of high-profile departures and young arrivals, and Jaissle said further signings remain possible before the transfer window closes.
- The next test is a home game against Bournemouth where Newcastle’s new identity, squad depth and any late transfer additions will be examined over a full 90 minutes.
