Tottenham vs Newcastle LIVE: Premier League result, latest updates and reaction
PA Oli Gent , Sports Reporter @ oli_gent | Sam Tabuteau at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 48 seconds ago Tottenham vs Newcastle LIVE
Tottenham and Newcastle conclude the second Saturday of Premier League action this season as both sides seek to build on midweek wins in the Carabao Cup. After a summer of optimism, Spurs were dealt a harsh reality check last week in their 3-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford but did bounce back immediately to thump London rivals Charlton.
Savio, signed from Manchester City the day prior, made an instant impact on his debut and Tottenham fans will be hopeful Omar Marmoush can do the same against the team he loves to play against, while Sandro Tonali is set to face Newcastle for the first time since his £100million transfer.
It has been a difficult summer for the Magpies, losing a number of key players, but there were encouraging signs in the draw with Liverpool. Nico Gonzalez could make his debut as new head coach Matthias Jaissle experiences an away fixture in English football for the first time.

67 mins: Now then. What do the hosts do? They’ve had the lionshare of possession and all the chances, but they find themselves behind. Can they respond?
64 mins: Spurs are stunned just past the hour mark. De Zerbi sits dejected, his team have been on top. Elanga with the goal as he spins away from Tonali and scuffs an effort past Kinsky.
62 mins: That wasn’t in the script, as Newcastle take the lead! It’s Elanga who has it, with Nico switching it out to Dedic. He finds the right-back, who feeds Elanga inside, and the Swede spins and strikes, going in off the post.
58 mins: Approaching the hour mark and still no score. Will De Zerbi turn to his bench soon?
54 mins: Free kick, Newcastle. Fernandes is penalised for what seems to be a clip on Wissa, but the replay shows it’s a dive!
51 mins: Close! Newcastle not far away themselves as Miley switches for Barnes, who chests down for Hall. The left-back hits it, but he slashes wide.
48 mins: Spurs players and fans want a penalty as Thiaw makes a clumsy challenge on Marmoush, looking to win a bouncing ball. The Spurs striker goes down in the box, but nothing doing, says the referee, and VAR.
Tottenham have played well and created opportunities, but they are lacking quality in the final third. Tel and Porro have both been heavily involved but their final action has let them down. Goalless at the break, but Spurs creating all the chances.
There’s the interval. Not a bad first half from Spurs. Plenty to build upon.
