Newcastle United secured a rare away victory against Tottenham Hotspur, winning 2-1 and intensifying pressure on Spurs' manager, Thomas Frank. The home side, currently 16th in the Premier League, suffered their 15th defeat under Frank's leadership. Fans expressed their displeasure with boos and chants, as the team's winless streak extended into 2026, further fueling relegation fears.

Malick Thiaw's goal put Newcastle ahead, followed by Jacob Ramsey's decisive strike after Archie Gray's equalizer for Tottenham. Frank now has the lowest win percentage of any Spurs manager in the Premier League era, with only a 26.9% win rate. The visitors, who had struggled on the road prior to this match, controlled the game. A disallowed goal further highlighted Tottenham's misfortune.

The defeat marks Tottenham's eighth consecutive game without a win, adding to their woes. Newcastle's victory propelled them into 10th place, ending their four-game winless streak. With Frank's position increasingly precarious, the team faces a daunting challenge in their next match against rivals Arsenal on February 22, live on Sky Sports. The fans' discontent is palpable.
