📸 Newcastle star nets first PL goal for club in style vs. Liverpool 💨 | OneFootball

After a tumultuous summer of serious upheaval, Newcastle have gotten the Matthias Jaissle off to the dream start with an opener inside five minutes against Liverpool.

And it came via a first league goal for a player signed for £55m last summer!

Anthony Elanga had a debut campaign to forget, failing to score in 32 Premier League outings for the Magpies and regularly starting games on the bench under Eddie Howe. 

However, after scoring twice at the World Cup, the Swede added another here, racing past Milos Kerkez to get onto William Osula's through ball and fire past Alisson. 

Here is the stunning counter-attack goal for UK and Irish readers. 

The fact Elanga is a Manchester United academy graduate must have made the moment all the sweeter for him.

Can Newcastle now kick on and secure the first win of a new era?
