The 23-year-old nearly made it a dream debut just two minutes into the game when he broke through Villa\u2019s backline, only to have his effort parried away by Marco Bizot. Elanga looked lively throughout, but was unable to get the goal contribution he was hoping for.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geordiebootboys.com\/news\/eddie-howe-issues-honest-verdict-on-anthony-elangas-debut-for-newcastle-united\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eddie Howe said Elanga was \u2018really good\u2019 on his Newcastle debut<\/a>, but the Sweden international has shared how he truly felt about the result.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2230415330-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Anthony Elanga takes a shot during a Premier League game between Aston Villa and Newcastle United.\" class=\"wp-image-152909\" \/>Photo by Dan Istitene\/Getty ImagesAnthony Elanga says he \u2018wanted more\u2019 from his Newcastle United debut<\/p>\n<p>While he did not register a goal involvement, Elanga played a part in the biggest talking point of the game.

HOWAY THE LADS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One Newcastle United player will be eager to play alongside Anthony Elanga this season<\/p>\n<p>With a hectic season in the pipeline, there will surely be a lot of squad rotation in the busy periods. Newcastle will be playing two games a week at times, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geordiebootboys.com\/tag\/champions-league\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Champions League<\/a> football returning to St James\u2019 Park and beyond.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geordiebootboys.com\/transfers\/wayne-rooney-gives-newcastle-united-and-liverpool-verdict-alexander-isak-will-despise\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alexander Isak is still missing from Newcastle\u2019s first team<\/a>, leaving Gordon in his place. The backup option to the Englishman is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geordiebootboys.com\/tag\/william-osula\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">William Osula<\/a>. The striker is great friends with Elanga, with the pair meeting during their youth days at Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geordiebootboys.com\/transfers\/william-osula-sends-wordless-reaction-to-fabrizio-romano-after-newcastle-agree-55m-anthony-elanga-deal\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Osula may have played a part in bringing Elanga to Newcastle<\/a>, with footage of the latter modelling a black and white shirt being released after his unveiling.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that Osula will be desperate to play alongside Elanga at some point this season. The pair did not cross paths on Saturday, with Elanga already being substituted by the time Osula came on.<\/p>\n<p>The Dane managed one effort on goal, which looked like it was going to challenge Bizot before being headed out by Tyrone Mings.<\/p>\n<p>  <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Elanga has taken to social media to reflect on his Newcastle United debut in a 0-0 draw&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73071,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1704,218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-73070","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-anthony-elanga","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73070","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73070"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73070\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73071"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73070"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73070"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73070"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
