Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali netted on his league debut and striker Alexander Isak added two more goals as the Magpies beat Aston Villa 5-1 in their first game of the new Premier League season at St. James' Park on Saturday.
Tonali, who signed for Newcastle from AC Milan in July, needed only six minutes to get on the scoresheet as he slid in to volley home Anthony Gordon's cross, and the 23-year-old almost added a second two minutes later.
Villa suffered a serious blow when defender Tyrone Mings went down after a tussle with Isak and had to be replaced by Pau Torres. British broadcaster Sky Sports later reported that Mings had been taken to a local hospital for further treatment. With the three points seemingly in the bag, Isak made way for Callum Wilson, and he made it four in the 77th minute with a calm finish after good work down the left by fellow substitute Harvey Barnes on his first league appearance since joining from Leicester City.
The fifth goal arrived in stoppage time as Barnes was played in and this time he chose to go himself, slotting past Martinez before receiving the acclaim of the Gallowgate end for a goal that sent his side to the top of the table on goal difference.
