Sean Longstaff will find it difficult to top the moment he scored for Newcastle United in the Champions League. Adding to the magnitude of that moment was the fact it came at the iconic Gallowgate End of St James’ Park, a venue that hadn’t seen Champions League football for 20 years.

It also came against a stellar PSG side containing Kylian Mbappe, who have since advanced as far as the competition’s Last 16. It all but sealed the game for Newcastle who went 3-0 up with Longstaff’s powerful drive past Gianluigi Donnarumma.

They eventually won the game 4-1 to record one of the greatest wins in the club’s 130+ year history. “It was a night made in heaven,” explains Longstaff to FourFourTwo.
