16 Things We Learned From Newcastle Vs. Sacramento Republic

7. If There Isn't, Freddie Woodman Looks Like He Can Shoulder The Responsibility Of Replacing Him

It was a bit of a shock to see the England Under-19 international , but like his superior in the first-half, whatever young Freddie was asked to do he was more than upto the task. His evening started with a couple of fantastic, flying saves from long-range Sacramento shots before he was forced into a couple of more routine stops later on. On top of those, he dominated his area well from crosses, with one punch in particular looking mightily impressive, and his distribution was pitch perfect. He knew when to go short and when he had to go long. Maybe Karl Darlow's current spot as United's No 2 isn't all too secure now, while Krul is surely well aware that there is a young pretender to his throne at St James' Park.
