Newcastle midfielder Longstaff determined to score more goals

Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff was delighted to score in their friendly at Doncaster Rovers last Friday.

Longstaff scored the second goal of the game as the Magpies ran out 3-2 winners at the Keepmoat Stadium on Friday evening.

"It was big. It has been a little while coming and it was only a pre-season game but it is about getting in the right habits," Longstaff told NUFC TV.

"Scoring a goal, it is something I want to do a bit more of this season. Breaking forward a bit more and taking more risks.

"Hopefully I can score a few more goals during the season.

"Growing up I was a bit more attacking than defensive and when I first came through that changed a little bit.

"I want to try and mix it up a bit. I think my biggest strength is getting box to box and hopefully scoring goals doing that."
