Andy Carroll says Newcastle United deserved their win over Manchester United.

Debutant Matty Longstaff scored the only goal of the game.

Carroll said, “We're buzzing! I think we deserved it - we were the better team throughout. You couldn't write Matty's goal. It's his first Premier League game alongside his brother against Man United at home and he's scored the winner. You can't ask for any better and I'm absolutely delighted for him along with the rest of the lads.

“The lads are buzzing for him. Matty's a great lad who has worked hard. He's deserved his start today and kept his head down. He's grafted since I've been here and he deserved his chance and taken it with both hands.

“I think it just shows what we have got in the squad. It was terrible last week and we've bounced straight back. We've worked very hard all week in training, and it has shown today as we dominated the game.

“It's important to show what we are about after last week. When you play a top team like (Manchester) United, it's always going to be a tough game but when you haven't won at home and you're struggling, like last week, I think it's a great win all round.

“The morale in the dressing room right now is great and we are buzzing heading into the international break. It's nice that we can celebrate for a couple of weeks and it eases the pressure on us. It's good going into the international break with a win rather than a defeat!"
