Newcastle show there's plenty of life after Tonali
· Sports · BBC Sport
Newcastle United defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 on Saturday evening in a Premier League fixture marked by Sandro Tonali's first appearance against his former club. The visiting fans taunted the Italian midfielder in the closing stages after he was substituted following a £100m move to Spurs last month. Newcastle head coach Matthias Jaissle praised his team's emotional stability and discipline following the victory. The club has reinvested the funds from Tonali's departure into several young summer signings, including Nico Gonzalez, Amar Dedic, and Lukas Hornicek. Hornicek made three crucial first-half saves to preserve the clean sheet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
