Then Sandro Tonali superb for both Newcastle United and Italy these past eight months.

Eddie Howe getting the very best out of the Italy international, playing Tonali in a deeper more defensive role, which allows Bruno Guimaraes to play further forward.

Against Manchester United on Sunday, both midfielders scoring in the 4-1 thrashing.

Sandro Tonali direct goal involvements 2024/25 season (up to 14 April 2025):

Premier League – 3 goals and 2 assists

League Cup – 2 goals and 1 assist

Italy – 2 goals and 1 assist

Compelling stats, 11 direct goal involvements (7 goals and 4 assists) for club and country so far in 2024/25, despite Eddie Howe using him predominantly in that more defensive role.

These are the most direct goal involvements that Sandro Tonali has ever had in a season (for club and country).

His all-round game has been amazing but these last two home matches, these last two superb goals (against Brentford and Man U), prove what great technique Tonali also has when he does get into goalscoring positions.
