Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has highlighted Sean Longstaff as one of the underrated stars of the season so far. At one point, it looked like his black and white career may be stagnating, but Eddie Howe's arrival has given the midfielder a new lease of life.
Alongside Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock and Joelinton, Longstaff has formed a formidable midfield unit and is proving a vital cog in the Newcastle machine. Against Fulham, Longstaff ran 11.1km, leading the running charts for the Magpies.
Looking back at the performance on Match of The Day 2, Shearer said: "They played really, really well Fulham and made it difficult. I thought it was always going to be difficult after midweek on the high they were in, the atmosphere was amazing. But, then you were back to reality a little bit today.
