Newcastle United fans are ecstatic about Sandro Tonali`s performance in their convincing 4-0 victory against Union Saint-Gilloise. The Italian midfielder played a crucial role in the match, contributing to the team`s opening goal.
Tonali showcased his skills with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, which was initially thought to be his first goal for the club. However, it was later revealed that teammate Nick Woltemade had slightly deflected the ball, resulting in Tonali`s effort being recorded as an assist instead.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe humorously remarked after the game that “both” Tonali and Woltemade were claiming the goal in the locker room.
Regardless of who was credited with the goal, Newcastle supporters were overwhelmingly impressed by the Italian`s display on the pitch. Many fans took to social media to praise Tonali`s performance, with some even suggesting that the 25-year-old might be the premier midfielder in the English top flight.
The former AC Milan star`s impact on the team has been significant since his arrival, and his latest performance has only served to strengthen the bond between him and the Newcastle faithful.
As Newcastle continues their campaign, fans will be eagerly anticipating more standout performances from Tonali, who has quickly become a fan favorite at St. James` Park.
