Dan Burn and Callum Wilson will have both impressed Gareth Southgate with their performances as Newcastle United thrashed Aston Villa. That is the view of Soccer Saturday pundit Kris Boyd, with the England boss sat in the stands at St James' Park as the Magpies ran riot.
Wilson netted either side of the break to put Eddie Howe's side in control, before goals from Joelinton and in-form Miguel Almiron sealed a thumping 4-0 victory on Saturday. The Magpies dominated the second-half, and came close to extending their lead further, with Jacob Murphy and Wilson both seeing efforts come back off the woodwork.
Southgate will likely be finalising his decisions over the squad for next month's World Cup squad, and Wilson has made no secret of his desire to earn a call-up. Newcastle's number nine has now scored six goals in nine top-flight appearances, and pundit Kris Boyd praised the 30-year-old for proving he had 'absolutely everything' in the victory over Villa.
