Egyptian star Omar Marmoush began his Tottenham Hotspur career with a 2-0 defeat against Newcastle United on Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the second round of the Premier League.

The match marked Marmoush’s first official appearance for Tottenham following his loan move from Manchester City during the summer transfer window, with the Egyptian international named in the starting lineup.

Tottenham and Newcastle went into half-time with the score still goalless after neither side managed to find the breakthrough during the opening 45 minutes.

The game changed in the second half when Anthony Elanga opened the scoring for Newcastle in the 62nd minute before Yoane Wissa added a second goal ten minutes later to secure the victory.

The result gave Newcastle their first win of the season and moved them onto four points following their opening-round draw.

Tottenham, meanwhile, remained without a point after two matches. They had already suffered a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in their opening fixture before losing again against Newcastle.
