Aston Villa boss Dean Smith was pleased with Danny Ings for his wonder goal in victory over Newcastle United.
Ings leaped high to send his bicycle kick beyond Freddie Woodman before the break before Anwar El Ghazi added a second on the hour mark from the penalty spot.
Smith told BirminghamLive: "Listen, we've seen him score a 20-yarder into the top corner here last season so we certainly know the type of goals he can score.
"It was a super finish and one that will probably be in the list already for goal of the season even though it's the second game.
"It's what we needed, the goal, because they put ourselves under pressure and we put them under a bit of pressure. It didn't look like the deadlock was going to get broken until something like that happened."
Smith was also asked about Matty Cash's long throw which aided Ings' opener.
"Matty Cash has always had a long throw so Austin (MacPhee) has come in and utilised what's on offer there," Smith added.
"Ty's gone up and won a great first header and Danny Ings has done what he's done to ourselves and a lot of other clubs before. It's great to see him in a Villa shirt scoring a goal like that."
