Praise for Newcastle United midfielder Lewis Miley vs Manchester United
Well, Newcastle United beat Manchester United 1-0 at St. James’ Park in the Premier League on Saturday evening.
Winger Anthony Gordon scored the only goal of the match in the 55th minute when he tapped in Kieran Trippier’s low cross at the far post. The right-back played well against the Red Devils and earned the praise of BBC MOTD pundit Alan Shearer.
Although a single goal separated the two teams, Newcastle were the better team and deservedly picked up all three points from the encounter.
Manchester United were dire for most of the time, with Marcus Rashford among the players who struggled.

Lewis Miley is a Newcastle United gem
In my view, Newcastle United midfielder Lewis Miley is a gem of a footballer. I believe that he is going to be a star for the Magpies in the future.
Miley is just 17 now, yet he is starting for Newcastle against top clubs such as Manchester United. It shows how much faith manager Eddie Howe has in him.
The teenager has provided one assist in three Premier League matches for Newcastle this season. Miley has made one start and one substitute appearance in the UEFA Champions League and has played once in the Carabao Cup this campaign.
