Tonali: Pickford's 'beautiful' save denied 'one of the best shots of my life'

Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali reflected on a bittersweet moment from his side's 3-2 defeat to Everton at St James' Park, saying he thought a late strike had rescued a point only for Jordan Pickford to produce a world-class intervention. "Yes the save was beautiful!

It bothers me a bit," Tonali told Sky Sport Insider, adding that he had complimented Pickford after the game and that it was "perhaps one of the best shots of my life" and "certainly the best save against me." He used the moment to underline the Premier League's relentlessness, noting that every opponent can produce moments of magic.

"The beautiful thing is that here in every game you have a player who impresses you," Tonali said, and warned that facing players like Haaland or a prime De Bruyne can change a match in an instant. Tonali also looked ahead to a busy March, with the club juggling the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League.
