Newcastle United forward Chris Wood continues incredible goalscoring week with New Zealand

Chris Wood has continued his incredible goalscoring week for New Zealand by scoring twice in their 7-1 win over New Caledonia, despite only being brought on as a 71st-minute substitute.

His first goal came on 83 minutes when he used his pace to break into space before sliding the ball underneath Jean-Gilles Hnamuko; he scored again six minutes later when he converted a cross from Andre de Jong.

The Newcastle United striker made New Zealand history on Monday night (March 21) when he bagged a brace in a 4-0 win over Fiji as the All Whites continue on their march towards World Cup qualification.
