Norwich City boss Daniel Farke was delighted with Teemu Pukki after their 3-1 defeat of Newcastle United.

Pukki became the first City player to score a hattrick in the Premier League since Efan Ekoku in 1994, but Farke was delighted with his allround performance.

“They were really brilliant finishes from Teemu. His workload was brilliant, and I remember him gaining possession back close to our own 18-yard box and this is exactly the mentality and spirit we need," Farke told Canaries TV.

“It's not about individual statistics and how many goals he scores, it's all about the team and for that he is so important for us so it was a brilliant performance from him."
