News about Sean Longstaff

Newcastle have launched their new away kit with a brilliant video. The video, which focuses on fans travelling on a train to an away game, includes a host of current and former Newcastle stars. The kit has burgundy and navy hoops, which bears a strong resemblance to Newcastle's famous away kit from the 1995-96 season. 

CRAIG HOPE: After exceeding expectations to qualify for the Champions League in 2022-23, this season was a more trying one for Newcastle. They were booted out of the Champions League at the group stage, lost six Premier League games in seven over the winter period - 14 across the 38 games - and were knocked out of both cup competitions at the quarter-final stage. The Magpies struggled with an injury crisis during the season, and despite improving in the final months of the season, they missed out on Europe despite finishing seventh - after Manchester United kicked them out by winning the FA Cup.

Despite beating Brighton 2-0 at the Amex on the final day of the campaign, United (pictured) finished in a lowly eighth and may have missed out on European football altogether. Erik ten Hag finds himself under major pressure and two of his big earners have been recognised among the league's worst performers in light of his side's woes. Surprisingly, one Arsenal (inset) player has also joined them in the team of flops. But who else has made the cut? Here, Mail Sport reveals all...

CHRIS WHEELER AT OLD TRAFFORD: If this does indeed prove to be Erik ten Hag's farewell to Old Trafford, at least he goes out with a win. Manchester United gave their manager the kind of performance that has so often been lacking in this most wretched of seasons. The kind that will make Ten Hag wonder what might have been. Where has this spirit been for the past 10 months? This backbone? Who knows, Ten Hag may yet get another shot. But if his team had played like this on a more regular basis, the Dutchman wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. Bruno Fernandes has rarely let Ten Hag down and on Wednesday night he played like he had a point to prove in a week when his own future at United has come under scrutiny.

Newcastle are expected to offload at least one key player this summer in order to comply with the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules. The likes of Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon, and Sean Longstaff have all been included in the conversation. Liverpool are preparing for a post-Jurgen Klopp era and already thinking through their first signings for Arne Slot.

RICHARD TANNER AT TURF MOOR: Alexander Isak became the first Newcastle player since Alan Shearer in 2003-04 to score 20 Premier League goals in a season as Eddie Howe's team stepped up their bid for another season of European football - while pushing Burnley closer to the drop. Isak's landmark goal - Newcastle's fourth in an impressive victory - came moments after he had a tame penalty saved by Ari Muric. But the Swede quickly amends with a cool close range finish to add to first half goals from Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes as the Geordies chalked up their fifth win in seven games to leapfrog Manchester United into sixth place.

CRAIG HOPE AT EWOOD PARK: Newcastle United's victory on a streak of turbulence continues to be alive, and this match was very much in keeping with those ups and downs. Anthony Gordon and Sean Longstaff were faced one-on-one with Aynsley Pears in the six-yard area, but only for the Blackburn keeper to recover from both in quick succession. Scott Wharton was unable to block Bruno Guimaraes' goalmouth.

Arsenal and Newcastle played out one of the most tense Premier League matches in recent years just three months ago. Despite three potential infractions in the build up, the Gunners were defeated by the Magpies in tumultuous circumstances on Tyneside, where Anthony Gordon was bundled home from close range. While trying to see if the ball had initially gone out of play, an offside from Gordon, and a foul on Gabriel, VAR debated for four minutes.

As the former netted what he believed to be the game's first goal, the Brazilian was clattered into by Newcastle's Sean Longstaff and his colleague, Kyle Walker, but it was only later found out for offside. Alexander Isak ran into it against City's high line, putting the goal over the top from the home defense. Though Isak was offside, the linesman's flag remained unchanged, as is the general rule in the Premier League, but it will only be raised after the ball had gone into the net.

The Geordies had the last laugh while Sunderland and Newcastle engaged in a not-so-subtle website war of words before and after their FA Cup derby on Saturday, and the Geordies had the last laugh despite what transpired on the track. The Championship team released an online form guide amid the feisty build-up to the first Tyne and Wear tussle in 13 years. The three sentences began with the letters 'f', 't', and'm', according to eyed readers. That equates to the well-used insult in Sunderland, 'F*** the Mags,' a dig at their neighbors.

Since beginning their campaign with a morale-boosting derby victory over Sunderland, Newcastle has been challenged to mount a charge for FA Cup glory. The Magpies went into Saturday's match against their arch-rivals having lost seven of their previous eight games in all competitions, and knowing that the possibility of a third-round exit from lower league opposition for the third time was a real possibility. Eddie Howe's men cruised past the Black Cats with the minimum of fuss, winning a 3-0 victory that reignited memories among the thousands of travel fans on Last Season's Carabao Cup final journey to Wembley and lifted the possibility of a major domestic trophy from a 69-year wait.

Raul Jimenez of Fulham has been slammed for his red card tackle, which has been likened to 'an awful Kung-Fu kick' during their match against Newcastle. According to a VAR report, the Fulham forward deserved a straight red card for his high tackle on Newcastle's Sean Longstaff. More will follow...

Bruno Fernandes is one of a number of Premier League players expected to be on their best behavior in the next five games in order to avoid a one-game ban. All accrued yellow cards become ineffective after 19 games of the Premier League season, meaning that players on four, nine, or 14 yellow cards will not be allowed to receive bans for additional cards. With 14 games remaining, it means that there are five top-flight players remain to avoid another booking and possibly not disappoint their team as we enter the holiday season.

Manchester United's plans for Saturday night's Premier League match against Newcastle United were jeopardized after their flight was postponed. On Saturday morning, Erik ten Hag's crew was scheduled to fly north-east from Manchester Airport at 11 a.m. However, when the passengers arrived at the airport to drop their cars off at 10 a.m., they were told that due to the weather and technical difficulties, their flight was cancelled.

Luis Enrique, the current Paris Saint-Germain boss, has warned his side against a possible Newcastle massacre ahead of the two teams' meeting in a Champions League matchdown. The reigning Ligue 1 champions were soundly defeated on Tyneside earlier this season, as goals from Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, and Fabian Schar threw the team wide open.

IAN LADYMAN: In October, it was a chilly night at St James' Park. Beforehand, I wondered how the home team would do without being able to cope with Kylian Mbappe and his mates warming up in the Newcastle rain. Jamaal Lascelles has been a great servant and captain of Newcastle's club but will not place himself in the world-class bracket. Both Dan Burns and Sean Longstaff seemed to be having long nights against France's champions. This may have been Saudi Arabia versus Qatar, but it had the potential to be lopsided on the track. And it was heading for Newcastle. I can still picture it. Mbappe's face was disorientated on PSG's face as PSG were swept away on a black and white autumn tide. The sheer enormity of what was more than a Newcastle win but also a demonstration of faith and hope that referred to a football cub but also for a city and a region. Newcastle 4 PSG 1. Lascelles was majestic. Both Burn and Longstaff scored. The night that new Newcastle really arrived? Quite possibly yes, indeed.

In the midst of growing resistance against referees, sixty-one Premier League players have been banned for protest this season. This week, two grassroots officials bravely opened up to Mail Sport's It's All Kicking Off podcast about some tragic events they have been involved in over the years. Both players, who were 25 years old, said they were assaulted with a knife, while the other suffered a broken jaw after being sent off by a stranger in a five-a-side match.

Despite apparently elbowing Jorginho in the head, a rumored leak of VAR audio from Newcastle's dramatic match against Arsenal has shown that Bruno Guimaraes was not sent off despite reportedly elbowing him in the chest. Anthony Gordon, the hosts' winner after three lengthy VAR checks, was incredibly controversial during the game at St James' Park. Mikel Arteta, the Gunners' manager, lost his rag post match, arguing that the result of the technology was "embarrassing" and "a disgrace" that left him "sick," claiming that the goal shouldn't have been granted. Several other controversial decisions, including a poor Kai Havertz challenge to Sean Longstaff and the notorious Guimaraes-Jorginho match, were also discussed this week, but neither were banned, according to PGMOL chief Howard Webb, who admitted this week that both players should have been given a red card.

The Premier League never fails to entertain, and last weekend was no different, as we saw a chaotic few days of action. We were treated to 30 goals in ten enthralling games, a slew of fun times, and, of course, there was also VAR drama. With five goals, two reds cards, and a slew of tense VAR calls, this culminated in Monday's London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea, which will go down as one of the most exciting Premier League matches of all time.

Gary Neville has blasted Kai Havertz for a'stupid' and "dangerous' challenge to Sean Longstaff, who saw him fly in on his rival. Newcastle players were up in arms and around the referee, and they were left stunned when Havertz emerged with a yellow card. Gary Neville, a commentator, was also stunned by the first half incident when he hammered Havertz for the tackle, saying the player was 'never getting there.'

Newcastle cruised to a 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford to put more pressure on Erik ten Hag and book a spot in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals. Eddie Howe chose a much different side for the rematch of last year's final, which saw Man United emerge as 2-0 winners at Wembley Stadium. Newcastle took a big step toward revenge after losing in the first half thanks to Miguel Almiron and Lewis Hall.

Newcastle's Sean Longstaff believes they have the resources to deal with Sandro Tonali's imminent death, and the Italian has denied allegations that the Italian has never been content on Tyneside. Tonali is expected to learn the length of his ostensible gambling ban, with reports in Italy indicating that a departure of between ten and twelve months is likely. That information could have been released prior to Borussia Dortmund's visit in the Champions League on Wednesday. Longstaff, a fellow midfielder, said: "I'm positive we can do it." We don't know the result right now, but we do know Joe Willock recovered from injury, Joel Inton fit, and Elliot Anderson has improved dramatically. And then there's Lewis Miley, the kid who I adore.

CRAIG HOPES AT THE LONDON STADIUM: Eddie Howe bemoaned'mistakes' that cost his Newcastle side a fourth straight Premier League victory after West Ham's late equalizer. After Alexander Isak's second double reversed Tomas Soucek's opener, the Magpies were in control, with goalkeeper Nick Pope's error. Newcastle failed to track down Mohammed Kudus' name with Sean Longstaff's return to the field and Sandro Tonali's lateness allowed the replacement's shot to be blocked in the 89th minute as he found the bottom corner.

CRAIG HOPE: Sean Longstaff, the Newcastle manager, has demonstrated himself to be able to win a spot in Gareth Southgate's England squad, according to CRAIG. Howe and the Three Lions chief have a positive relationship, and the latter discussed how impressed he was with Newcastle this season. Only Kieran Trippier is part of his current squad - Callum Wilson has a hamstring injury, but Longstaff, Anthony Gordon, and Dan Burns have all been rumored for inclusion.
