00:00 a massive statement on the opening day of the season for Newcastle beating

00:03 a side everyone has sort of tipped to do quite well this season in Aston Villa

00:07 5-1. Of course Newcastle themselves came off the back of a brilliant season last

00:11 year so I think people put them off a bit too quickly

00:13 and to go and win 5-1 on the opening day says an awful lot.

00:17 So for me my game of the weekend is Newcastle 5, Aston Villa 1.

00:20 Goal of the weekend simple, Bukayo Saka is in a lot of people's fantasy

00:25 Premier League sides and scoring a goal like that absolutely stunning. People

00:28 don't really realise the talent this guy has.

00:32 One fantastic effort against Nottingham Forest on the opening day so

00:36 goal of the weekend for me is Bukayo Saka. Looking at player of the weekend I

00:40 think there's a couple of honourable mentions you can look at Erling

00:42 Haaland, you've got a couple you could look at Anthony Gordon who was

00:46 electric against Aston Villa but I'm going to go for another Newcastle player

00:49 on his debut, Sandro Ternali. A goal on his debut of course

00:53 and then just looked so composed in the middle midfield

00:57 in a brand new league for him as well.
