Matt Ritchie was barking orders at Newcastle United players against Manchester United

Newcastle United shocked Manchester United at Saint James’ Park yesterday, securing a 1-0 victory courtesy of Premier League debutant Matty Longstaff.

The win was the Magpies second of the campaign, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Newcastle were handed a 5-0 thrashing at the King Power Stadium last weekend, but they responded well on Sunday, and head coach Steve Bruce will be glad.

Injuries and suspension left the Toons boss with no much of a choice than to go with the Longstaffs in the middle of the park, and it paid off.
