I thought Longstaff played extremely well. I’ve said this before. He plays well next to Bruno. Bruno raises the levels sometimes.
Newcastle midfielder - and new dad - Bruno Guimaraes to Sky Sports: "They've been amazing days for me, to become a father for the first time. It's been incredible. I've had two days without sleep. I would stay home but I love to be here with these guys. They make me happy and proud, and I think we deserved it today." On his son Matteo's birth, the Brazilian added: "It was one of the best days of my life. I'm very happy and proud. It's been like a dream. I don't have words because it's amazing what has happened in my life. "I say thanks to my family. It's been difficult but it's all worth it." Team-mate Callum Wilson then joined in, saying "it was a win for Matteo!"
12 months ago we had zero wins, just 4 points and were 2nd bottom. Today we go down to a London side who only had had wins at home - we beat them and go 4th top. Gigantic progress! Botman was brilliant, as were the whole team.
He’s played for both spurs and Liverpool. It’s to be expected. The narrative is shifting now. We just keep going and improving steady. If we make 2 solid signings in January we could get top six. I would be tempted to loan Phillips from Man City. They are now our nee best friends.
BTW it was my birthday today, didn't say anything cos nerves were shot, told all the good wishers this morning that the perfect present was a win today
To be fair, I don't think he was the one doing the heavy lifting! Still class to make such an effort to join the team and help us win
