Norwich 3-1 Newcastle: Four Things Learned

Norwich started off their home Premier league campaign with a 3-1 thrashing of Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.

Teemu Pukki scored a hat-trick, scoring a stunning first-half volley to give the Canaries the league going into half-time, before two more calm finishes to give him the matchball.

In second-half stoppage time, Newcastle got a late goal thanks to midfielder Jonjo Shelvey, but for the majority of the match, were being dominated by the hosts, with stats backing that up as the Magpies had just 37% possession.

There were many good performances from the Canaries, who registered their first points of the new season. The back-line were confident and comfortable in possession. Tom Trybull and Moritz Leitner controlled the game and linked defence to attack well. And Todd Cantwell provided two assists and was always an attacking outlet.

There were so many positives to take from the game, but what did they learn? Here are four things that we picked out.
