Sandro Tonali scored a sensational winner and Alexander Isak took his season's Premier League goal tally to 20 as Newcastle United beat Brentford 2-1 on Wednesday to boost their bid for a Champions League place.

Sandro Tonali scores an incredible winner to boost Newcastle's Champions League hopes in their first game since lifting the Carabao Cup.

Yet, in the 74th minute, Tonali, who found himself on the right flank, overlapped Harvey Barnes, who passed to the midfielder. Having looked up, potentially spotting Mark Flekken a couple of yards off his line and noticing that no Newcastle player had attacked the near post, Tonali arrowed the ball into the box with his right foot.

Alexander Isak scored his 20th Premier League goal of the season and Sandro Tonali fired a stunning winner as Newcastle United beat Brentford 2-1 at St James' Park on Wednesday to boost their bid for a Champions League place.

After losing 2-0 against Manchester United in the final of the 2022-23 Carabao Cup, Newcastle won nine of their remaining 15 Premier League games to secure fourth spot. Will they end this season with a similar flourish?

The Magpies named an unchanged starting line-up from their previous Premier League match at West Ham and the 2-1 Carabao Cup final win against Liverpool. But there was one change on the bench with 18-year-old full-back Leo Shahar called up to the first team for the first time with Matt Targett dropping out.

Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has confirmed Alexander Isak and Kieran Trippier were substituted due to injury in his side’s 2-1 victory over Brentford on Wednesday.
