What happened. Tottenham lost 2-0 to Newcastle, with goals from Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa, continuing their poor run of form.

• Since beating Aston Villa 4-1 in late 2024, Spurs have gone behind 44 times and never come back to win.
• Despite heavy spending, the team still lacks resilience and character.
• Coach Roberto De Zerbi faces a huge task to turn things around.

The defeat raises questions about Tottenham's ability to recover from setbacks under new leadership.
