"The Tottenham team played very poorly in offense and lost because of that.

Ange Postecoglou's players lost 1:2 away to the Newcastle team.

For most of the game, Tottenham dominated, controlling the ball for longer periods, but real chances were lacking. In the 37th minute, Harvey Barnes put the hosts ahead.

In the 56th minute, the "status quo" was restored. Brennan Johnson shot towards the goal, and Dan Burn accidentally scored an own goal.

After the goal, the Spurs continued to pressure their opponents. However, on the other side, Newcastle launched a quick counterattack – Jacob Murphy provided the ball to Alexander Isak, who did not miss.

Newcastle has 7 points after 3 rounds, while Tottenham has 4 points.
