These Newcastle fans reacted to Willems’ performance against Watford
Newcastle moved out of the relegation zone at the weekend as they held Watford to a 1-1 draw at St. James’ Park.
Watford took the lead in the second minute as Will Hughes converted from close range after some poor defending from Newcastle early on.
Centre-back Fabian Schar then secured a point for the Toon as he finished well from inside the box just before half-time.
One player who impressed, though, was left-back Jetro Willems as he caught the eye down the flank.

READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
Some may have feared the worst after Matt Ritchie was ruled out for around two months with a knee injury, but Willems stepped up and made a claim for his place in the side with a strong performance against Watford.
He was constantly looking to bomb down the line and get crosses in to test the Watford defence, whilst also being solid at the back – preventing Javi Gracia’s side from creating chances down their right.
Were you impressed with Willems?
