West Ham United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Sean Longstaff for Newcastle United at the weekend.

Longstaff featured for Newcastle in their Premier League game against West Ham away from home at the London Stadium on Saturday evening.

The 21-year-old midfielder started the match and played for the first half, as the Magpies lost 2-0.

The youngster has been playing well for the Magpies in recent weeks, but he had to be withdrawn due to a knee injury.

Longstaff, though, did not have a good time when he was on the pitch, as he struggled to impose himself on the match and was also shown a yellow card for a challenge on West Ham winger Robert Snodgrass.

According to WhoScored, against West Ham, Longstaff played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 80%, took 23 touches, and made one tackle and one clearance.

Ahead of the match, there were comparisons between Newcastle’s Longstaff, and West Ham United ace Declan Rice, who is 20 years of age and can operate as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder.

Rice played well for West Ham against Newcastle, and fans of the London club have mocked Longstaff for his disappointing display at the weekend.
