What happened in the Newcastle vs Tottenham match and why was it significant?
This is the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. Thanks for joining us. Saturday night football came from North London this week as Spurs played Newcastle at the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium. This is how we saw things at full time.
A first Premier League win for Matthias Yisler's Newcastle United and an impressive start by the new manager who's gone his first three games unbeaten. Last weekend it was Ilanga and Willock that earned him a point against Liverpool. This weekend it is Ilanga and Wissa who have done the business for Newcastle. There's been a bit of a bad-tempered Finish because for Spurs, this is another poor result that extends their bad record here at home, which they failed to make their fortress last season, and they've started off on the wrong foot here as well. Two matches in which they've been beaten, two matches in which they failed to score in the Premier League. And Newcastle round home their advantage with those goals from Ilanga and Wissa with a brilliant bit of improvisation in the second half.
An impressive start by Newcastle. Yeah, absolutely fantastic as I said, decimated in the summit. real negative feeling about the place, but winning football matches makes you feel completely different. And those supporters cannot believe what they've seen in the last couple of games. And we've lost stars, players he'll always remember for a long time considering what he did in terms of winning that trophy, but maybe Dus nu staan ze een beetje naar de klopt. So Spurs in it for the long haul and have to pick themselves up, but all the smiles are on. Newcastle faces Tottenham Nil, Newcastle 2.
What a result for Spurs uh for Newcastle, I should say. What a second half performance from them. Spearheaded by that pace and directness from Antonia Langer. And Spurs just couldn't handle that attacking threat. Newcastle so impressive, Spurs worrying. Two games in, two defeats, none scored, five conceded, but for Newcastle that is a dream away day, Jamie.
Yeah, absolutely fantastic today. I think the way they set up. From minute one, that guy there was a constant threat. They kept playing the ball in behind him. The manager deserves a lot of credit for that because he obviously had a game plan and they exploited Tottenham's weaknesses down that side. And with Alanga and Dedic, they were absolutely brilliant. And I'm so pleased for Vissa and I'm so pleased for players that have had a really tough time like Alanga because last year it must have been so difficult for them they thought have I probably thought many times have I made the right move here but today these are the days that make it makes you think yeah it was worth it we pay for a huge football club like Newcastle even though they've lost players this club will always survive you know and I think today was one of those days where they look back and go what a moment for all of us because there's been a lot of pressure surrounding that club they're all down sing.
They're all dancing.
They're all dancing. I and I wonder, Ryan, what Eddie Hat must be thinking watching this with two of the players that We were told he pushed the boat out to bring to St James's Park last season. It just didn't perform for him. And as soon as he leaves, now you set to see it.
Yeah, they obviously had some injuries last season that probably affected that. But I think it just goes to show the type of manager Eddie Al is that he's left that club in a in a good place. There's there's some good characters in that changing room and they've it looks like they've made some good sign ins. The manager's getting more out of other players as well. So positive start for them. I thought they deserved the win today.
Their third away win of 2026. All three have been in London and two have come at the Tottenham Hot Spurs Stadium. Another big step back,
Jamie, for Spurs today. Yeah, but I I I said it last week and I'll say the same thing again. This is going to take time. There's a lot of new players all coming in and the manager's got a jigsaw puzzle and he's got to figure out how do I fit these players in?
