Tottenham Hotspur lost to Newcastle United 1-2 in the third round of the 2024-25 Premier League at St. James' Park in Newcastle, England, at 9:30 p.m. on the 1st. This puts Tottenham in 10th place with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss four points, and Newcastle in 5th place with 2 wins and 1 draw seven points.

Tottenham was led by Harvey Barnes' goal midway through the first half. They continued to drive, but failed to score a goal, and rather, they were hit by a single throw-in. They entered the second half, and Dan Burn scored an own goal with James Maddison's shot and Brennan Johnson's second shot.

With a 1-1 balance, Tottenham increased the reins. They pushed the defense line high and threatened Newcastle's goal with many shots. But again, they collapsed with a through pass. Jacob Murphy broke down Tottenham's defense line on a counterattack and conceded to Alexander Isak on a one-on-one basis to score a point. Tottenham tried to make up for the rest of the game but failed to defeat 1-2.

Despite its aggressive attacks, Tottenham failed to secure a victory. It had more shots eight times than Newcastle five times in the first half, but ended the game trailing 0-1, as did the other team in the second half. It induced several own goals, but that was it. 12 shots in the second half were ineffective. Only four times led to shots on goal, and Tottenham had two big chances misses.

At the time of the opening goal, goalkeeper Vicario made a regrettable punching mistake and the defense team collapsed with a single through pass. Due to two scenes, Tottenham yielded two goals. "Tottenham had a lack of tension in the first half and an unconvincing punching mistake by goalkeeper Vicario," said England's Football 365. "Also, they gave up possession of the ball unnecessarily in their own side, and Pedro Porro's ridiculous shot came out."

The media went on to say, "In the first half, Tottenham was like watching a talented youth team with a few seniors, Madison and Son Heung-min. They would just think that they would do well in the Olympics." They compared Tottenham to a youth team and harshly criticized their performance.

The media was a media outlet that strongly criticized Son Heung-min recently. Regarding Son Heung-min, who was sluggish in the Premier League opener against Leicester City, he said, "The player who surprised us the most is Son Heung-min. His career is no longer on an upward trajectory. He showed tremendous performance for Tottenham, but now he has to express it in the past tense. Son Heung-min is a good option for Tottenham's multi-faceted attack, but now it should be seen as just one of many options. He also criticized that he no longer deserves a starting position against all opponents in all situations."
