Newcastle United handed Tottenham Hotspur a shocking 1-0 defeat in North London on Sunday afternoon, registering their first win of the new Premier League campaign following back-to-back losses to Arsenal and Norwich City.

Things appeared to have gone from bad to worse for manager Steve Bruce’s side after summer arrival Allan Saint-Maximin went down injured 17 minutes into the game.

Despite losing such a key player in attack, Newcastle found themselves ahead 10 minutes later, with his replacement Christian Atsu teeing up Joelinton for his first competitive goal for the Magpies.

Tottenham came close to drawing level on a few occasions, but a resilient Toon defence stood its ground for the remainder of the game, soaking up all the pressure and shutting the hosts out.

It was a performance Saint-Maximin himself was proud of, and the Newcastle winger has taken to Twitter to express his delight at the victory and also reach out to the fans:

Im so proud
