It's all over at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it's another hugely disappointing result for Spurs, who have now lost their opening two Premier League games of the season by an aggregate score of 5-0. They played well enough in the first half - they just lacked a bit of a cutting edge in the final third. Newcastle were always a danger on the counterattack and they went ahead when Elanga found the bottom-left corner after Dedic knocked down an excellent pass from debutant Gonzalez for him. The Magpies added another through Wissa's improvised finish, and Spurs never looked like recovering despite mustering 17 shots with an expected goals (xG) value of 1.04. Newcastle, meanwhile, managed to find the net with their only two shots on target and an overall xG of just 0.75. Elanga is now the first player to score in Newcastle's opening two games of a season since club legend Alan Shearer in 2003-04! There's plenty of work to do for De Zerbi, with a trip to Nottingham Forest to come next weekend. Newcastle, meanwhile, are up against Bournemouth next. Thanks a lot for joining us! See you next time!
FULL-TIME: TOTTENHAM 0-2 NEWCASTLE UNITED.

Toure comes on for Barnes as Newcastle look to wind down the clock.
IMPORTANT CLEARANCE FROM HALL! Marmoush releases Udogie with an excellent pass to the byline on the left side of the box. The defender picks out Solanke, who diverts the ball towards goal with his trailing leg. It looks set to roll into the bottom corner, but Hall is on hand to clear it away.
Good job from Kinsky, rushing off his line and getting to the ball first after Barnes put a heavy touch on Ramsey's lofted throughball.
