Arsenal loanee Joe Willock got his Newcastle career off to a dream start with a goal against Southampton.

The 21-year-old ran onto Allan Saint-Maximin’s cross to put the Magpies 1-0 up against Saints, before Miguel Almiron made it two with a deflected effort.

And on a busy day for loanees, Liverpool’s Takumi Minamino pulled one back for Saints on his debut in an exciting opening 30 mins.
