Sean Longstaff reveals emotional reaction to brother Matty's sensational Manchester United goal

Sean Longstaff has revealed how he had to fight back the tears as his little brother struck the winning goal against Man United.

The 19-year-old became the youngest ever Toon debutant to score on his Premier League bow.

Both Longstaff brothers played their part in the win that has won them a place on national back pages on Monday morning.

Sean said: “It's unbelievable! I was speaking to Yeds (DeAndre Yedlin), walking across the pitch, and he said it's so crazy you're going to play together and, when he said it, it sort of hit me a little bit.

“And, I think you can see the lift he gave everyone - he was buzzing about, tackling people, and he was unbelievable. and he gave everyone a massive lift.

“He gave, probably, the whole place a lift, to be honest.

“When he scored, I froze for a second. I thought I was going to start crying!

“But, it's unbelievable. I'm so happy for him, I know how hard he's worked.”
