WHAT HAPPENED? Former AC Milan midfielder Tonali scored a brilliant volley on his Premier League debut against Aston Villa.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The 23-year-old joined Newcastle in the summer from AC Milan on a five-year deal for a reported €70 million fee, making him the most expensive Italian player of all time. Eddie Howe's side managed to secure Champions League football for this season after a strong fourth-place finish in their first season following the Saudi takeover.
