Newcastle United left north London with all three points after beating Tottenham Hotspur 0-2 in the Premier League. The visitors were outplayed for long spells, yet struck twice in the second half through Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa to make the game safe.
The match was goalless until the 62nd minute, when Anthony Elanga finished from Amar Dedić's assist to put Newcastle ahead. Ten minutes later Yoane Wissa doubled the lead, Nick Woltemade providing the assist, and Spurs could not find a way back. Micky van de Ven, Nicolás González and Sven Botman were all booked.
Tottenham dominated the numbers, with 58% possession, 17 shots and 1.04 expected goals, but Newcastle's goalkeeper made four saves to keep them out. Newcastle had only two efforts on target from 11 shots, but their finishing proved decisive. It was a reminder that control without goals can be punished.
