Steve Bruce recorded his first victory as Newcastle United manager with a 3-1 win over Hibernian on Tuesday night.

Goals came from new record signing Joelinton, Sean Longstaff and Jamaal Lascelles and in truth there could have been a lot more for the Magpies in the night.

Many positives could be taken out of the game, and they looked much improved compared to last time out against Preston North End.

Arguably Newcastle’s standout player was scorer of the second goal Longstaff.

The young Englishman continued his good form in pre-season and controlled the game in central midfield at Easter Road.

The star played for an hour before being replaced by Ki Sung-yueng, who’ll be fearing for his starting prospects after Longstaff’s recent showings.

Against Hibs, he was always an outlet and caused problems with his passing range from the engine room.

Newcastle fans react

There is a lot of tension amongst the Newcastle support at the moment, but many were delighted to see their shining light Longstaff playing so well.

Fans adore the 21-year-old and are adamant he should not be sold amid links to Manchester United:
