- Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe said striker Callum Wilson is"desperate" to fulfil his dream of playing at the World Cup after scoring twice in Saturday's 4-0 Premier League win over Aston Villa with England boss Gareth Southgate watching on.

After netting a penalty in first-half stoppage time, Wilson nodded in his second following a short corner in the 56th minute and set up a goal for Miguel Almiron, before hitting the crossbar with another header. "Callum is desperate to be involved with England, it's one of his childhood dreams, so he will be really pleased that he played so well. He scored the two goals and his overall performance was very good."
