Chris Wood admits he has to take every opportunity at Newcastle United due to the competition up front with Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson. The January signing netted his first Premier League goal of the season as the Magpies recorded a comfortable victory at Southampton on Sunday.
Wood played an important role as Eddie Howe's side pulled clear of relegation danger in the second-half of last season. However, the New Zealand international struggled for goals and has so far been used mainly from the bench this term.
Isak and Wilson have so far led the line for Newcastle in the Premier League, although the number nine was withdrawn at half-time at St Mary's after suffering with illness during the week. Wood believes competition for places comes with the territory of playing for a 'very big club', and hopes his goalscoring cameo has done enough to earn a starting spot in the near future.
