Callum Wilson laughs off 'super sub' tag after yet another Newcastle brace

Callum Wilson has spoken of his delight after Newcastle United beat Southampton 3-1 thanks to his second half double. The number 9 was not in the starting line up but now has four goals in his last two appearances.

Wilson and Newcastle are now within touching distance of the Champions League and can do it with games to spare. Wilson said: “I think we started slow and sloppy, we had a game a few days ago so it was probably down to tired legs and minds, we made changes at half time, got the crowd involved and brought new energy to the front line.

"Mindset was the main thing, we regrouped at half-time, tactically tweaked a few things and blew them away second half."
