Newcastle United have managed to get off to a brilliant start in the new Premier League season. With two wins and a draw, the Magpies Club currently ranks in the 5th spot in the PL table, just one below their dream top-4 spot. Even though the Magpies haven't looked the most convincing, Eddie Howe would be happy to have 7 points off the three games before going into the international break.
Despite not being a dominating Newcastle performance, it certainly took much for the Magpies club to defeat Tottenham, 2-1. On that note, here are the 3 Newcastle stars who stood out in the club's 2-1 win over Tottenham:-
Nick Pope
As has been the case with Newcastle's 2024/25 campaign, they have won matches through their brilliant defensive presence. Be it the game against Southampton, Bournemouth, or the most recent one, against Tottenham, Howe's lineup has relied upon a rock-solid show by their backline to fetch the maximum points. And when it comes to defense, Nick Pope has been the star performer of the Magpies.
Delivering one masterclass after another, the 32-year-old Englishman has been one of the consistent performers for Newcastle. Not to forget his match-winning performance against Southampton, a rock-solid show against Bournemouth, and now the display against Tottenham, Pope stood crucial for the 2-1 win, managing six saves. Time and again, Pope has been showing that he still has enough, and he would be the man whom Newcastle can rely upon.
