Danny Ings produced an early ‘goal of the season contender’ with a sensational bicycle kick goal against Newcastle United.
It was a reasonably comfortable win for Aston Villa as they defeated Newcastle 2-0 after Anwar El Ghazi added a second from the spot in the second half.
Though, it was Danny Ings’ overhead kick goal that made all the headlines.
The new signing has kicked off his tenure at Aston Villa in style after leaving Southampton in the summer. Ings scored his second goal in as many games as he sent Villa Park into rapture on the cusp of half-time.
One of the most underrated strikers in the Premier League, the former Liverpool striker met Tyrone Mings’ flick from Cash’s long throw with aplomb to put his side ahead.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Danny Ings scoring with a magnificent acrobatic effort on his home debut for Aston Villa.

Two kings bringing the house down putting defenses on strings

After watching hundreds of Villa games over the years, there have not been many times recently when I’ve yelled: “What a f****** goal!” Danny Ings changed all that #AVFC #AVFCLIVE

Just seen the Ings goal, and not to over exaggerate, but I think he might be the best player on the planet. #utv

An incredible Jack Grealish replacement
Villa lost a supremely talented player in Grealish. Prob one of my favs to watch in recent times, if not my fav.

But to get Danny Ings in for £30m of that £100m, a player that when fit will contribute to 20+ premier league goals a season, is such an incredible outcome for them🔥
An elite striker
Danny Ings has so many different types of finishes in his locker.

Danny Ings is such an elite Striker with an amazing game awareness and positioning. Shame that injuries prevented him from playing for a top club.
