Callum Wilson proved there is still room for him at Newcastle United after a brace against the team he loves to score against more than any other. The Magpies hitman, who has had to play second fiddle to Alexander Isak in recent weeks, scored the first goal of each half in a thumping 5-1 win over West Ham United on Wednesday, rewarding Eddie Howe's faith to start him.
Wilson, who was given the nod over Isak to the surprise of most Newcastle fans, has now scored 12 goals in 13 Premier League games against the Hammers. The former Bournemouth man has struggled since the World Cup and looked to be lacking fitness in the first months of 2023.
However, after finding the net off the bench against Manchester United on Sunday and following that performance up with a stellar showing from the outset in the capital on Wednesday, Wilson can now play a huge part between now and the end of the season.
