What happened. Tottenham lost 2-0 at home to Newcastle, with second-half goals from Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa, increasing pressure on manager Roberto De Zerbi.

• Spurs lacked cutting edge and were defensively naive.
• Newcastle's new boss Matthias Jaissle inspired a near-perfect away performance.
• Eddie Howe failed to get a tune out of Elanga and Wissa.

De Zerbi must start winning quickly to avoid a shift in mood at Tottenham.
