Double Trouble: Why This Could Be a Breakout Season for Twins Josh & Jacob Murphy

Josh and Jacob Murphy became only the second pair of twins to face off against each other in a Premier League game last weekend - the first being Will and Michael Keane - when they lined up for Cardiff City and Newcastle respectively.

It was certainly a surreal experience for the two, who had enjoyed over ten years together with Norwich City before Jacob moved on to Newcastle in 2017. Their senior careers with the Canaries were both reasonably impressive, but it was nothing close to the potential they had shown during their time in the youth setup.
