Premier League 2019-20: 5 talking points from matchday 2

#3 Teemu Pukki making a mark at the top level

Teemu Pukki went home with the match ball

Teemu Pukki was the driving force behind Norwich's promotion from the Championship to the Premier League last season. The 29-year-old scored 29 goals from 43 matches in England's second tier, including eight goals in six consecutive matches from January to February to help The Canaries reach the top spot in the Championship.

His form saw him earn the Championship Player of the Season award, and was also voted into the Team of the Season, apart from being rewarded with a new three-year contract.

However, performing in the Championship is a very different kettle of fish to doing it on the big stages of the Premier League, and many would have been forgiven for expressing pessimism over the possibility of the Finn stepping up to the plate in England's top tier.

A consolation goal in Norwich's opening day defeat to Liverpool saw the former Celtic man open his Premier League account, but matchday 2 saw his take his goalscoring exploits to an entirely new level.

In the game against Newcastle United, Teemu Pukki scored a hat-trick, becoming the first Norwich player since Efan Ekoku in September 1993 to score a Premier League hat-trick.

Pukki finds himself at top of the scorer's chart in the ongoing season of the EPL with four goals from just two matches, and if there were doubts over his ability to swim with the big fish, he has shown that he has what it takes to shine on the grand stage.
