Officially under the Saudi flag during the international break, Newcastle hosted Tottenham on Sunday as part of the 8th day of the Premier League. The opportunity for fans to celebrate their new owners, but also for the players of the current squad to prove that they can be part of the adventure in the long term.
Everything started off perfectly as Callum Wilson opened the scoring in the second minute. Yes but now, the Magpies were going to be betrayed by their "embarrassing" defense (Times) and conceded three goals in the first period. After an exclusion of Jonjo Shelvey and a reaction at the end of the match, it was a defeat (2-3) which finally punctuated this first meeting of the new era of the Toons.
The English press does not fail to recount the historic afternoon, between the enthusiasm of local fans and protest because of the non-respect of human rights in Saudi Arabia, with strong words. A Sunday with a "bitter taste" (Telegraph) which could have gone even worse since a local supporter had to be medically assisted with a defibrillator.
Two images will also have marked the October 17, 2021. The shot of Amanda Staveley, all smiles before the match, then that of the latter, broken down at the end of 90 minutes and additional time. A parallel that regales the tabloids this morning. As if she realized that the hard part is starting for her Newcastle. Steve Bruce, the current manager, was in an ejection seat. He knows that with this initial setback, his future is really hanging by a thread.
