That’s how hitchhikers fire! Newcastle defender with a great shot. Check out his beautiful goal

Newcastle United’s summer continued the smart and, more importantly, well thought out transfers from the winter. Even with new owners making it the richest club on the planet, it hasn’t resorted to any crazy transfers. Because of this, we can expect a rather more gradual rise. However, in the first game of the new season he shone with a great performance. The defender Schär scored a great goal.

The odds were in their favour. The Magpies welcomed a newcomer to the English top flight at the start of the season. Nottingham Forest were not going to have an easy time of it. Newcastle had a great second half of last season.

It is expected that this season the currently richest football club on the planet should attack at least the top ten. It has a good squad, interesting individualities and, above all, the character instilled in the team by 44-year-old coach Eddie Howe.

The first league match played by the team from the north-east of England looked like that. Against Nottingham, they absolutely dominated in all aspects. Newcastle kept the ball, dictated the tempo and created chances like a treadmill.

It was Nottingham who got nothing. And to make matters worse, in addition to some great defensive work by the Magpies, one of their defenders flashed a great shot. Stopper Fabian Schär has excellent kicking technique and has proved it on several occasions.

Letting him shoot from mid-range always smacks of trouble. And that’s what happened now. The Swiss international opened the scoring with his goal and scored the winning goal.

Schär scored in the 58th minute. His teammate Callum Wilson scored the second and final goal of the match.
