Newcastle boss Howe happy Wilson back in amongst goals

Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson is boosted by the clear cut chances he received against West Ham United.

Wilson got a goal after a long scoring drought in the 1-1 draw against the Hammers.

While he also missed chances to score more goals, manager Eddie Howe believes even getting those chances will have improved his confidence.

Post-game, per Chronicle Live, Howe said: "I'm really pleased for Callum that he scored the first goal. It wasn't just scoring, it was the manner of it – one-against-one and the pace in behind.

"It was a really good pass and a really good finish on his left side. He'll probably go home and think about the ones that he didn't take, but I think a hat-trick of good chances is great news for Callum.

"He's in the right places and he showed his pace in behind their backline. I was really pleased with him."
