Alan Shearer has not had much of a presence on Twitter after Newcastle games this season. However, this evening he has two tweets and both are about 19-year-old Matty Longstaff.
This is Alan’s first tweet when Matty scored his game-winner for Newcastle United. It was a timely one indeed.

Then after the game, Alan sent out a congratulations to Matty and his entire family. What a moment it is for young Matty!
What an amazing day for the Longstaff family. Well done and congratulations. ???????? @NUFC #NEWMUN

The youngster looked confident from the start. He was very good on the ball and played some excellent cross field passes to the flanks. After a performance like this, Matty may have forced himself into the first team.
It was also great to see Andy Carroll as the first player to celebrate with Matty. It’s been a fantastic evening for Geordies and Newcastle fans everywhere.
