Newcastle United secured an important and impressive 3-0 victory over Southampton at the weekend, as Rafael Benitez’s men try to crawl their way from doom to a safer position in the table.
Facing a rival for relegation it was all the more important for Newcastle to triumph, and the defeat for Southampton has pushed them further into trouble.
Crucial for Newcastle was Kenedy, with the Chelsea owned player scoring twice in the first half hour.
Several Newcastle players stood out as they helped the club beat Southampton, but it’s Kenedy drawing widespread praise.
Each Monday Gazzetta dello Sport choose the best eleven from around Europe, leaving out their own Serie A.
Kenedy has found his way into the Italian newspaper’s selection this week, one of three Premier League players to be included.
So keen were Gazzetta to get the Newcastle player into their selection that they appear to have placed him in central midfield.
