‘Never’: Brother of Newcastle United sensation posts emotional message after major milestone

Lewis Hall had a night he will probably never forget, scoring his first ever senior goal for Newcastle United against Manchester United at Old Trafford in a huge 3-0 Carabao Cup win.

The 19-year-old doubled the Magpies’ lead in the 36th minute, sending the club well on its way to the quarter-finals for the second year in a row.

After the match, Lewis’ older brother Connor, who’s also a footballer, took to social media to voice his pride.

Connor Hall currently plays for Farnborough, currently on loan from Solihull Moors, and has been vocal about him and Lewis being lifelong Newcastle United fans thanks to their father who is from the North East.

“Never been so happy man,” wrote Connor alongside the clip of Lewis’ goal.

And his brother isn’t the only one to heap praise on the youngster. After the match, Eddie Howe spoke pridefully about both Lewis and fellow summer signing Tino Livramento.

“I thought they both played really, really well. I thought they both showed their qualities,” said the manager. “Lewis was very composed on the ball under pressure and played some lovely passes in the first-half, capped off with his goal that was an unbelievable strike.

“Tino’s standout moment was probably the assist for the goal but his all-round performance was of the highest level. They are two outstanding prospects for us.”
