The English football club Newcastle United started a new era two weeks ago under the leadership of a consortium led by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) from Saudi Arabia, but the first match under the new owners was a disappointment for the fans. The “Magpies” lost at home to Tottenham Hotspur 2: 3 and still did not win the Premier League this season.

At the same time, the beginning of the meeting turned out to be excellent for them and the new management was able to celebrate already in the 2nd minute, when Callum Wilson prevailed. Then they and the fans in St. James Park was silenced by the opponent’s players.

In the 17th minute, Tanguy equalized Ndombele, five minutes later VAR confirmed Harry Kane’s goal and in the third minute of the set time of the first half, Son Heung-Min completed the turn. The “Roosters” had more of the game until the end of the match, which the home team finished without excluding Jonj Shelvey, but collected after Eric Dier’s unfortunate own goal.

Newcastle did not score again and in the current season gained only three points for three draws. The last Norwich has one less. Fans of the “side” welcomed PIF Governor Yassir Al-Rumayyan to the stadium as a hero, but they still have to wait until they feel the influence of new owners who want to make the club one of the best in Europe and win a Premier League title within ten years.

The first step could be to change coach, although the club has so far retained coach Steve Bruce. However, according to the British media, one of the three Frank Lampard trio, Lucien Favre, Brendan Rodgers, will probably come to the North English club soon.

In addition, Bruce is very unpopular with fans who chanted him after the Spurs’ turn chanting “I want to leave Bruce” or “you’ll get fired in the morning.” “If I believed everything I saw last week, I might not even be here today. My job is to get some results. Unfortunately, when you’re in the Premier League and you haven’t won in seven or eight games, you’re under pressure.” said the coach after the match.

Tottenham’s turn was started by Kane, for whom it was the first goal in the new league season, after a lobby over goalkeeper Karel Darlow, who catches Martin Dúbravka caused by an injury in the absence of Slovak. The side referee first waved offside, but VAR acknowledged the goal. “I know there’s been a lot of talk around me, what happens if you’re used to scoring goals and you don’t get it there. I always make sure I change another chance.” he said.

They had to interrupt the duel for about 20 minutes, because one of the fans who fell to the ground got bad at the stadium. Tottenham defender Sergio Reguilon noticed this and immediately alerted the referee to interrupt the match. Meanwhile, his teammate Dier sprinted to the side line and showed the medics that a defibrillator was needed. Referee Andre Marriner then interrupted the game and pulled the players into the cabins. Fans and paramedics stabilized the spectator and then took him to the hospital.

“During the transfer to the hospital, he was conscious and able to communicate. The club wants to thank the fans for their quick action and alert the organizers and praise those who provided immediate first aid and heart massage. We also thank the paramedics.” the club said in a statement.

Together, Diera and Reguilona declared the men of the match that they were able to react quickly and quickly to the problem in the stands. “We heard the screams of fans and I saw one lying on the ground. I was very nervous and I went to the referee. I told him we had to stop the match,” quoted Reguilona by the AP agency.
