Callum Wilson illustrates his high standards with brilliant post-match verdict

Callum Wilson has reflected on his debut goal after the 2-0 win against West Ham United.

The £20million man joined Toon legends such as Les Ferdinand and Mick Quinn with a goal in their first outing for the club.

Wilson led the line well and suggested there is plenty more to come this season.

Speaking to Sky Sports he said: "I seemed to get off to a good start on my debut and it was a great team performance. We were solid at the back and that gave us the platform.

"I am quite a confident person anyway and my job is to score goals. I feel this is a great squad with great potential and I am trying to be the definitive piece in the puzzle, putting the ball in the net.
"I like this place, I like playing against West Ham. It is not a disrespectful thing but I keep scoring against them.

"It is about being consistent and building on this performance for the next game."

And reflecting on the performance overall, Wilson said "We were well organised, the shape and the way we set up gave us that platform.

"The reason I joined here was great players in the squad and I could have had a hat-trick.

"As long as they keep coming, I'm happy.

"It is disappointing that my debut goal wasn't in front of the fans who would have travelled down."
