Newcastle United's Sean Longstaff was a big miss in the middle of the park as Aston Villa ended the Magpies' fine winning run on Saturday. The 25-year-old has enjoyed arguably his best season in a black and white shirt has salvaged his career on Tyneside in the process.
Longstaff continues to earn plenty of plaudits from Eddie Howe, with the Newcastle boss claiming the midfielder's performances continue to go 'under the radar'. However, it's clear Longstaff has a huge impact off the pitch and in the dressing room.
The academy graduate remains one of the most popular members of Newcastle's senior squad and continues to show time and time again that his positive presence in this setup is beneficial to his co-stars. First there was the impassioned defence of former Newcastle flop Joelinton.
