### READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT

Newcastle’s best goal so far this season without a shadow of a doubt, and it will take some beating.

To produce that bit of skill and follow it up with a sensational finish at Anfield against Liverpool takes some doing and it was a brilliant moment for Willems to kickstart his Newcastle career.

The left-back has had a slow start to life in England but will hopefully now be able to push on and prove that he can be Newcastle’s first choice left-back for the rest of the season, at least.
