Player Ratings: Estonia 1-3 Italy – Tonali runs the show as Pio Esposito bags first goal

Sandro Tonali is Football Italia’s MOTM in Italy’s 3-1 win over Estonia in the World Cup qualifiers.

Donnarumma 4.5 – Had barely anything to do all evening and gifted the hosts a consolation goal after a calamitous blunder, catching the ball from a cross before dropping it immediately in front of the goal.

Calafiori 7.5 – A dominant force in the air and threat in front of goal sees the defender continue his run of good form. An impressive display tonight as he grows into his new role for Gattuso’s Italy.

Bastoni 6.5 – Average night at the office for the Inter centre-back, he did his job and allowed the Azzurri dominate possession from the back.

Di Lorenzo 6.5 – Competent performance from the defender at centre-back, showing his versatility and competence in a position other than his typical right-back.

Dimarco 7.5 – Looked good on the left-flank, putting in a shift all game long and assisting Moise Kean’s opener.

Tonali 8.5 – Italy had a few strong performers tonight but the Newcastle United man was in a league of his own today. Harking back to the iconic Italian centre-mids of yore, the 25-year-old showed his class this evening.
