Alan Shearer Criticizes Newcastle's Approach & Performance in 3-1 Loss to Norwich

Teemu Pukki admitted he "wouldn't have even dreamt of a day like this" after his impressive hat-trick gave Norwich City their first win back in the Premier League against a laboured Newcastle United.

The 29-year-old's previously unremarkable career took in spells at Schalke, Celtic and Brondby before he hit 29 goals for Norwich as they won the Championship last season.

He scored in the 4-1 defeat at Liverpool last week but he oozed Premier League quality with three fine finishes in his side's first Premier League game back at Carrow Road.

"Of course this is one of the best games I've had in English football," he said. "A hat-trick in the Premier League I wouldn't even have dreamt about a couple of years ago."

Pukki's stunning volley set Norwich on their way in the first half, lashing into the top corner after Newcastle failed to clear a corner.
