Newcastle fans in love with Tonali as Italy star claims first goal
Newcastle fans are absolutely delighted with Sandro Tonali’s performance in a 4-0 win over Union Saint. Gilloise, while the Italy international claims the first goal for the Magpies.
Tonali put in a big performance for Newcastle last night, contributing to a comfortable 4-0 win away at Union Saint. Gilloise.
The former Milan star thought he had opened the scoring with a shot from outside the box, but later found out that Nick Woltemade had slightly touched the ball, so Tonali’s attempt eventually counted as an assist.

It takes an unlucky deflection but they all count the same

Newcastle coach Eddie Howe joked at the end of the game that “both” Tonali and Woltemade claimed the goal in the dressing room.
Regardless of the actual goalscorer, Newcastle fans seemed to be absolutely delighted with the Italian’s performance last night.
Countless Newcastle supporters on X praised the Italian star, even arguing that the 25-year-old is probably the best midfielder in the Premier League.

I’m going to say it now. Sandro Tonali is the best Midfielder in the Premier League. pic.twitter.com/Igfjqqz8kD

I still don’t think a lot of people realise just how good Sandro Tonali is at football.

Reckon Tonali was doing ultramarathons everyday when he was banned? The bloke doesn’t stop.

Tonali is up there with the best Midfielders in the league.

I need to chat to the people that said Newcastle overpaid for Tonali when he joined. The bloke is a Rolls Royce.

Absolutely brilliant from #NUFC tonight. Made a difficult fixture look exceedingly easy.
Up and running in the UCL ahead of a nice run of league fixtures, and two home games in the Champions League.
Tonali, Woltemade, Elanga and Gordon – excellent. A very positive night. pic.twitter.com/jsbAkqSTy1
