Newcastle United kicked off the 2023/24 season with a statement win and performance, putting FIVE past Aston Villa in a devastating display at St James’ Park.
There were so many positives and the goals are well worth watching again if you missed Match of the Day last night. Even if you didn’t, why not relive yesterday’s action!
Tonali’s opener was brilliant, coming from some lovely link up play between Joeliton and Gordon, a superb left-footed cross by the latter and a perfectly timed run and finish from our £55m Italian. Talk about a dream start on your Premier League debut!
Isak’s first came from more Tonali magic and some good work from Botman to set up our ice-cool Swede, who then showed his class once again to make it three with a cheeky chip.
Our fourth saw Barnes show his movement and unselfishness to set up Wilson, but our £38m man from Leicester got the goal his lively cameo deserved, as he raced onto Murphy’s through ball and slotted past Martinez.
