Alan Shearer has expressed high praise for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali's performance against Aston Villa in the Premier League.
Shearer commended the player's contribution to the team's 5-1 victory at St. James' Park and remarked that the Italian midfielder was an ideal fit for Eddie Howe's squad.
Tonali, who joined the Magpies from AC Milan during the summer transfer window, not only scored the opening goal in the sixth minute but also played a part in creating two additional goals for the team.
“The star of the show was Tonali. As debuts go, this is as good as it gets," Shearer said on Match of the Day on BBC One.
“It was the perfect midfield performance. Goals, assists, tackles, great range of passing, late runs into the box, timing was perfect in almost perfect, getting stuck in, he really was superb.”
