Andy Carroll hailed Newcastle United debutant Matty Longstaff after he became the hero at St James’ Park. Longstaff marked his league debut with a low drilled finish to separate Newcastle and Manchester United.

Newcastle jumped out of the relegation zone after recording their second win of the season. Longstaff – who played one cup match prior to this – was the only goalscorer as Man United’s dismal away form continued.

Longstaff was joined by other Geordies on the pitch. His older brother – Sean Longstaff – was in midfield alongside him. And Carroll came off the bench in the second half.

“What dreams are made of”

It was a special day for the club and the city – summed up by Carroll’s social media post. After the match, he took to Instagram to post a picture of him and M Longstaff celebrating. His caption was simply: “And That’s What Dreams Are Made Of!!”

Newcastle fans flocked to Twitter to celebrate alongside Carroll, Longstaff and the other players. Here are some responses to the former West Ham striker’s Instagram tribute.
