Newcastle goal hero Sean Longstaff hails 'best performance of season' but United left disappointed

Sean Longstaff says Newcastle United's performance at Watford was their "best of the season".

But the Magpies were unable to take advantage despite the midfielder's stunner in the first half.

United created 20 goal attempts on the day at Vicarage Road but emerge with just a point.

Speaking to Match of the Day, Longstaff said: "In the first half alone we should have been three or four goals in front.

"We had a lot of very good chances, more than we'll create in most games and it is very disappointing to come away with a point."

Reflecting on the performance overall, Longstaff said: "We were excellent in the first half and we really dominated the game.

"It was the best we've played this season.

"In the second half, their fans were up and they were in the game, but we were creating much better chances.

"It is a disappointing day."
