Matty Longstaff was the star of the show for Newcastle United against Manchester United this weekend – but the midfielder did a whole more than just score, as THIS statistic proves.

No player on the field, which included the likes of Brazil international Fred and £80m Harry Maguire, ran more kilometres than Premier League debutant Longstaff. He covered 11.36km in the game.

The next highest on the list, no surprise, was brother Sean Longstaff (11.02km) followed by Andreas Pereira (10.49km).
