Sean Steur and Malick Thaw impress in Friday night wins

It was a positive Friday night for two Newcastle United players on international duty, with Sean Steur and Malick Thiaw both involved in victories for their respective countries.

Steur continued his encouraging progress with the Netherlands Under-21s, while Thiaw produced another solid performance for Germany in their UEFA Nations League win over Serbia, just 24 hours on from Yoane Wissa's goal for DR Congo. 

Steur stars for Dutch U21s

Sean Steur played 78 minutes as the Netherlands Under-21s cruised to a 3-0 victory away to Denmark in their Euro U21 play-off on Friday night.

The 18-year-old delivered another standout performance in the middle of the park, providing an assist and picking up a booking during an impressive shift.

Steur has been building momentum at international level, and this was another encouraging display from the young midfielder as he continues to gain valuable experience.

His composure and quality in possession have been among the most exciting aspects of his game since arriving at Newcastle, and we will be hoping to see more of those qualities as he looks to earn a regular place under Matthias Jaissle.

Thiaw impresses in Germany win

Malick Thiaw was also in action on Friday night, starting and playing the full 90 minutes as Germany secured a UEFA Nations League victory over Serbia.

The Newcastle centre-back was selected again by Jurgen Klopp and impressed alongside Jonathan Tah at the heart of the German defence.

It was another positive international outing for Thiaw, who continues to strengthen his standing at international level following his move to Tyneside.

There was no place in the Germany squad for Nick Woltemade, however, with the Newcastle striker missing out on this occasion.

Overall, it was a good night for our two representatives, with Steur and Thiaw both getting important minutes and helping their countries to victories.
