'Frustrated' Newcastle star reveals 'repetitive' training ground reaction to Liverpool 'poor finish'

Callum Wilson admits he has worked on a particular finish 'repetitively' ahead of the Carabao Cup final following a saved one-on-one in the defeat to Liverpool. The Newcastle United number nine was introduced as a second-half substitute in the home loss to the Reds, and was denied by Alisson as Eddie Howe's side looked to halve the deficit.

The defeat means the Magpies have now dropped to fifth in the Premier League table, with Liverpool becoming the first side to taste victory at St James' Park this term. Jurgen Klopp's team are still the only side to beat Newcastle in a top-flight fixture, having secured a controversial 2-1 win at Anfield in August.

Alexander Isak started up front for the second week in a row following a recent injury setback for Wilson. The former Bournemouth striker was asked whether Alisson made the one-one-one harder, but he focused more on his own actions as to why he did not find the back of the net.
