THEY could not have asked for a better start to their reign on Tyneside.
Newcastle’s new owners went into a frenzy as their side took the lead after just two minutes against Tottenham.
But the jubilation would be short-lived after Tanguy Ndombele fired home a rocket to equalise for the visitors.
And moments later skipper Harry Kane gave his Spur side the lead after he beat the offside trap to loft the ball over Karl Darlow.
Callum Wilson had given the hosts and early lead when he headed home inside two minutes.
That sparked wild celebrations among the Toon Army with new owners Amanda Staveley and husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi only too happy to join in.
Staveley and Ghodoussi were in the stands following the £300million Saudi-led takeover on Tyneside.
Staveley was a key figure in the purchase from former owner Mike Ashley.

Both she and the billionaire Reuben brothers took a 10 per cent stake in the club with the Saudi Public Investment Fund taking an 80 per cent share.
Joining her at St James’ Park were celebrity fans Ant and Dec, who threw their arms aloft when Wilson’s header hit the back of the net.
New Saudi chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan was also in the stands as the new regime were greeted by fans before kick-off.
Boss Steve Bruce was still at the helm for the first game of the new moneyed era.
All the talk had been of him getting the chop but the 60-year-old was given the chance of taking on his 1,000th match as a manager.
