JUST IN: Thomas Tuchel made crucial Newcastle United decision
TNT Sports gave the 20-year-old the man-of-the-match award for his heroics yesterday. Hall kept Gunners talisman Bukayo Saka quiet with arguably his best defensive performance to date
While nobody questioned Hall’s ability on the ball, the jury was out regarding his discipline in a back four. Just 115 minutes of first-team action in his first nine months on Tyneside left some bemused – with Newcastle always keen to pay the £28million to make an initial loan move permanent.
Eddie Howe’s trusted method of easing players into St James’ Park life has proven right, with Hall now cementing the left-back spot. His showing against Chelsea and Arsenal were coming-of-age performances and, at 20, the best is yet to come.

With England short of left-backs despite boasting a perceived “golden generation”, the Toon ace has his sights set on the national team. He said post-match: “Obviously, there aren’t many left-backs in the England squad so I’d be lying as well if I said I hadn’t noticed that.
“But I’m just focused on playing for Newcastle. If I’m playing well at Newcastle, that’s all I care about at the moment.”
The club’s media team shared a picture of Hall proudly showcasing his man-of-the-match award. Willock commented “England’s best left-back” – a hint for Thomas Tuchel to take note.
Tino Livramento – who enjoyed an equally as impressive display to keep Gabriel Martinelli quiet on the right flank – also called Hall “unbelievable” following his Arsenal heroics. The duo look set to pin down Newcastle’s – and possibly England’s – full-back spots for the next decade.
