Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez was delighted with two-goal Salomon Rondon after victory over Bournemouth.

Rondon struck twice as the Toon won 2-1.

Benitez said after the game: “When we signed Rondon, we were talking about a striker who could win in the air, could hold the ball and at the dame time have some mobility.

“He's different to Ayoze, Muto or Joselu and that is good news for us because we have different options that we can manage depending on the games.

“He did really well, and still he can improve his match fitness – that will be by playing games - but if he continues training hard in training sessions, he will be better and better.

“He's not very fast, but he's quite strong and as I said before, still he can improve.

“If we continue training normally, I think he will be a little bit better physically and it will give him more chances in behind defenders.

“He can do even better, but I am really pleased with him."
