The midfielder, who recently joined Newcastle from Manchester City, played a key role in the win and helped provide the creativity that unlocked Tottenham’s defence in the second half. Gonzalez admitted that starting just four days after arriving at the club made the occasion even more special.
Newcastle manager Matthias Jaissle’s tactical adjustments also paid dividends after the break, with the visitors becoming more aggressive and eventually taking control of the match. Gonzalez was directly involved in the build-up to the opening goal, using his vision to find Amar Dedić, who helped create the opportunity for Anthony Elanga to score.
The Argentina international revealed that spotting such passes had been an important part of his discussions with Jaissle since joining the club, and he believes the team can continue improving as the players become more comfortable with the manager’s ideas.
Gonzalez was particularly encouraged by Newcastle’s youthful squad and the room for development within the team, insisting that the victory could be the beginning of something special on Tyneside.
After an impressive first outing, Gonzalez will now look to build on his strong start when Newcastle return to St James’ Park, with the midfielder confident that the team has the quality and potential to challenge strongly this season.
