UCL: Incredible Tomori tackle denies Newcastle goal

England manager Gareth Southgate was in the stands when Milan came back to beat Newcastle United in the Champions League and Fikayo Tomori will hope he was watching a goal-saving tackle.

It was a great overall performance at St. James’ Park from Tomori, but his highlight was an extraordinary challenge that prevented Miguel Almiron tapping in from a couple of yards when the roll across had already beaten Mike Maignan.

Tomori almost got a goal at the other end too, as late on his angled drive thumped the inside of the far upright on the counter-attack.

The 2-1 win was not enough to keep Milan in the Champions League, but they do go into the Europa League.
