Sean Longstaff Gives His Brother Matty The MOTM Award In The Best Interview This Year

Newcastle have a new homegrown hero and his name is Matty Longstaff.

The 19-year-old scored the winner in front of the Gallowgate End on Sunday afternoon as Steve Bruce's side picked up a crucial 1-0 against Manchester United at St James' Park.

Longstaff's magnificent strike in the 72nd minute means that he is the youngest ever player to score for Newcastle United.

It was a truly memorable outing on his Premier League debut.

In fact, his overall performance against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side earned him the Man of the Match award.

Following the full-time whistle, the youngster was joined by his brother Sean in the tunnel. He spoke about his performance and the team in one of the best interviews you will see for a long time.

"Last night you go to bed dreaming of this and you never think it's going to happen. For it to happen, I'm over the moon." Matty said.

What a brilliant interview.

You can sense the pride from Matty's brother, Sean, who has played a huge part in Newcastle's season so far.

"I know how hard he's worked." Sean said. "He's been the best player in training. He was a breath of fresh air. I couldn't be prouder of him."

Manchester United dropped another three points against Steve Bruce's side as they sit just two points above the relegation zone.
