Sandro Tonali delivers response following Newcastle 'gentleman's agreement'

Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali did his talking on the pitch last night as he helped Italy to an important 2-0 win over Northern Ireland.

This puts the Azzuri into the next round of World Cup qualification as they bid to make it to this summer’s tournament in North America.

Tonali scored the opening goal in some style as Italy eventually broke down a resilient Northern Ireland side, and it was the perfect response from the Magpies star after constant transfer gossip over his future dominating recent headlines.

Sandro Tonali lets his football do the talking

Tonali has done well to put the speculation to one side, with the 25-year-old playing a key role in helping his country one step closer to World Cup qualification.

Newcastle fans will no doubt still be keen to hear a more positive update on Tonali, whose agent seems to be doing his bit to fuel speculation at any given opportunity.

Still, NUFC fans can also expect more quality displays from Tonali if last night’s performance is anything to go by, and that can only be good news.
