Back-to-Back Premier League Goals Reset Anthony Elanga's Newcastle Form
Two goals in two matches to open the 2026/27 Premier League season have re-established Anthony Elanga in Newcastle United’s attacking rotation as of August 29, 2026. The 24-year-old Swedish winger put Newcastle ahead against Tottenham Hotspur with a turn and finish, following up his goal in last weekend’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
Wide Attacking Revival at St James’ Park
The consecutive strikes mark a complete reversal in front of goal for Elanga, who failed to record a single league goal throughout his entire debut 2025/26 campaign after moving from Nottingham Forest in 2025. Adding consistent finishing from wide areas provides direct scoring balance to Newcastle’s forward line after a season where his creative contributions were unrewarded on the scoresheet.

playerThe performance against Tottenham gives Newcastle early momentum across the opening fortnight of the 2026/27 campaign. Having earned a point against Liverpool on opening weekend, securing further offensive output from wide positions builds a strong foundation before the autumn schedule intensifies.
