Newcastle Forward Aleksandar Mitrovic has described scoring at St James’ Park as ‘it is like a drug’
The 21 year old arrived on Tyneside from Anderlecht in the Summer for a fee in the region of £13 million and has became an instant fan favourite.
When he arrived the serbian had a reputation of being a ‘hot head’ and he showed that by getting booked within a minute of coming on for his debut and also getting a red card in his third game. However he can score goals and he always is a nuscance to play against. After opening his scoring account at the Etihad, the Serbian striker made it two in two with his first goal in front of the home fans.
A few people have compared him to the style of an Alan Shearer…
“It is always an amazing feeling to score a goal but even more so here at St. James Park.
“I can’t put it into words properly, you need to score goals to feel it. I have said before that goals are like a drug. If you score one, you want more and more, and that is how I feel now. I will keep working hard to score more goals.
“It has taken me a few games to do it but I am happy and proud to score and hear the noise from the crowd, celebrating my goal.
“I want to thank my teammates because they have helped me a lot since I came to the Club and they help me score goals.
“This is why I chose this league and this Club. Football is amazing here and there are so many goals.
“It is really interesting to watch and to play in, and I love being here at Newcastle.
“It was a big win for us, finally we showed we know how to play good football for 90 minutes and we played like a real team.
“I always believed we had more quality than we had shown so far this season.
“We always had confidence, we never lost it, even when we were losing games. We always believed in ourselves because we know that we are a good team and that we can make something special.
“But this is nothing, it is only our first win, we’ll continue to work hard every day and every week to get more wins.”
