Alan Shearer believes there is more to come from Callum Wilson, as he hailed Newcastle's new forward for bringing an added dimension to the Magpies.
Newcastle won 2-0 at the London Stadium as debutants Wilson and Jeff Hendrick netted on their first games.
And Shearer saw enough from Wilson to recognise how important he could become.
He said on Match of the Day: "Very encouraging week for Newcastle and they matched it with a really promising performance.
They had an edge to them today that I didn't see many times last season and that edge was because of Callum Wilson. His ability to constantly be a menace, be in and around the box is what Newcastle lacked.
It will take his teammates some time to get used to it because he is making clever runs in behind (the opposition defence). He's horrible to play against, defenders hate that.
Hopefully in time his teammates will learn how to play with him and get up to support him. He was alive in that 18-yard box and it's what they needed someone to do.
Jonjo Shelvey was top scorer last season with six goals and the reason they bought Callum Wilson is the put the ball in the back of the net and given them that focal point. And he gets the goal that his performance deserves - it was good play on the left-hand side from Jeff Hendrick, who I thought was superb as well.
That's what he has to do. What a start for him and what a start for Newcastle.
