Rafa Benitez left Newcastle United for Chinese Super League side’s Dalian Yifang during the summer after him and the club couldn’t agree to terms of a new deal. Steve Bruce has since replaced the Spaniard at Saint James Park, and despite leading the side to a 1-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, the Geordie definitely has big shoes to fill. Newcastle put in a defensive masterclass against Spurs, and one of the players that did impress at the back was Paul Dummett. The 27-year-old emerged as the worthy man of the match and Benitez has claimed that he is one of the most underappreciated players he has ever worked with.
