After his stunning Newcastle United debut - Official Premier League site Sandro Tonali analysis.
The official Premier League site looking at the Newcastle player’s stats and levels of performance after his debut.This official PL analysis confirms what we all saw.
The 23-year-old was in perpetual motion at St James’ Park, closing down opponents, tracking back with determination and making a series of telling forward runs. He could also have had a second goal when he surged into space for a 1v1 with goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.Although Tonali made only one successful tackle, one interception and five ball recoveries against Villa, those numbers do not fairly reflect his defensive contribution.
Tonali’s endeavour was clear for all to see, but he was part of a team performance which was also characterised by energy and aggression. All three players are well-rounded operators who can play as a holding midfielder, in a box-to-box role, or as an attack-minded individual.
