Newcastle crashed to a 2-1 defeat at home to Tottenham earlier today.
Rafa Benitez’s side put on a solid display but they were undone by two first-half goals from Jan Vertonghen and Del Alli.
The Magpies came close to equalizing in the second half but the likes of Diame, Rondon and Kenedy failed to convert their chances.
Newcastle will be disappointed with a defeat on the opening day especially because they did enough to grind out a draw.
Benitez decided to bring on Christian Atsu to add some pace to his attack and change the game.
