Newcastle made short work of Crystal Palace on Saturday, returning from the truce (4-0). Dominators at home, the Magpies confirm their rise in power since the beginning of September, having recently brought down Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. In the midfield, against the Eagles, no Sandro Tonali in the XI. But the Italian still came on for the last 20 minutes, at the request of Eddie Howe, in a boiling St James’Park.
A classy gesture from the English coach and an idea perfectly validated by Newcastle supporters. Sandro Tonali, involved in a dirty sports betting affair, was probably playing his last match of the season before experiencing his next suspension, undoubtedly very heavy. So, Eddie Howe took the opportunity to let his player take one last lap of honor in front of his audience. On arrival, the Italian was able to be cheered by his fans, in order to support him in an ordeal that is already painful for the ex-Milanese.
