Newcastle forward Callum Wilson reflects on what would have been the best goal of his career

Callum Wilson claims he thought he'd scored one of the best goals of his career against Arsenal. The Magpies number nine had already gone close to opening the scoring when Ben White turned the ball into his own net.

The Newcastle striker brought down a long ball upfield from Martin Dubravka and lashed a half volley towards the goal at the Gallowgate end after spotting Aaron Ramsdale off his line. The Gunners goalkeeper was left stranded in no mans land as the ball flew over his head but swerved beyond the right-hand post at the final moments.

The Newcastle striker put in an inspired performance as Eddie Howe's side put a dent in Arsenal's Champions League hope and ended the campaign on a positive footing at St. James' Park. Wilson's fine display saw him take home the man-of-the-match gong at the end of the night.
