Tottenham Hotspur lost 2-0 at home to Newcastle United on August 29 following a 3-0 defeat to Brentford the prior weekend. The club has spent more than £300 million in the summer transfer window and finished 17th in the Premier League in each of the previous two seasons. Thousands of supporters left the stadium early, and manager Roberto De Zerbi stated there is no panic while noting that mentality cannot be purchased in the transfer market.
