Sean Steur started alongside Nico Gonzalez in midfield for the first time this season.

Steur Steur told his social media followers that Newcastle United deserved all three points at Craven Cottage.

Jacob Murphy’s stunning strike from distance appeared to have snatched the Magpies a late away victory. However, Rodrigo Muniz equalised just three minutes later to ensure both sides shared the spoils.

Newcastle will feel disappointed not to have secured a vital Premier League victory. In the first half, referee Rob Jones ruled out a Dan Burn opener as Yoane Wissa was judged to have impeded Timothy Castagne off the ball.

Fulham had chances too - with Lukas Hornicek called into action five times. A draw was potentially a fair result but, given Newcastle broke the deadlock on 80 minutes, they will feel as though the game was there to be won.

‘Deserved more’ - Sean Steur

Posting on an Instagram story, Steur expressed his view that Newcastle should have won the game. He wrote: “Deserved more. We go again after the break.”

Matthias Jaissle provides Sean Steur update

Steur suffered a nasty knock to the Achilles midway through the second half. Fulham defender Sander Berge caught his leg while challenging for a header, with the youngster requiring treatment.

Speaking post-match, Matthias Jaissle - who started Steur alongside Nico Gonzalez for the first time this season - confirmed that the 18-year-old is fine as he continues to adjust to English football. He told reporters: “No, I think he's good, he's fine, but he felt also that the physicality is not 100 per cent there.

“That's something I mentioned already before, this is normal, if you sign a young lad, he needs to get used to that, but he did an amazing job. So, again, also something to build on.”
