Newcastle defeated Southampton on Saturday, and Sandro Tonali was outstanding once again.
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle has now won 10 of their last 11 games across all competitions. They visited the relegation-threatened Saints on the South Coast and were unfazed by their defeat to Bournemouth.
For the first time since his debut goal against Aston Villa in August 2023, Tonali found the scoresheet in the Premier League.
An stunning flick-on from Anthony Gordon put him through on goal in the second half. The Italian scored with a straightforward side-footed finish after making no mistakes.
He joined star striker Alexander Isak in the goals. The Swede bagged a brace to put his tally in the Premier League to 17 for the season.
Newcastle’s 12th league victory of the season against Southampton gives them the motivation they need to defeat Fulham in their upcoming match.
Tonali shared his three-word comments on social media following the goal and victory.

Since his return from a 10-month ban in August, Tonali has been outstanding for Newcastle. Tonali’s transition into a deeper midfield role under Howe deserves a great deal of appreciation.
