Alan Shearer praises Steve Bruce’s perfect set-up against Tottenham Hotspur

Newcastle United secured their first points of the new Premier League campaign away from home at the expense of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Club-record signing Joelinton opened his goalscoring account for the Magpies in the 27th minute, putting a delightful finish to a perfect chip from Christian Atsu.

Manager Steve Bruce will definitely be glad that Newcastle have finally gotten off the mark following back-to-back losses to Arsenal and Norwich City.

The Geordie has come fire from the fans and press since succeeding Rafa Benitez, and getting his first win, against a side as big as Tottenham would have been a huge relief.
