Newcastle United fans have lavished praise on Sean Longstaff after his excellent display in Tuesday’s 2-0 win over Burnley.
The 5 foot 11 midfielder scored his first Premier League goal against the Clarets after Fabian Schar’s screamer to give the Magpies all three points.
Longstaff subsequently took to Twitter on Wednesday to reminisce, posting a picture of him shooting at goal along with the caption: “What a night, big three points.”
Newcastle are now closer to 10th than 18th after their second win in a row, having also beaten Huddersfield Town, and face Manuel Pellegrini’s West Ham United this weekend.
Longstaff has made his first-team breakthrough under Rafael Benitez this season, playing 12 times in all competitions. Such has been his meteoric rise, he has also played 13 times for the Under-23s this season.
And, following his tweet, Newcastle fans have lavished praise on the 21-year-old, who is a local lad, having been born in North Shields.
