Bruno Guimaraes & Aston Villa star post six-word response to ‘long-awaited’ Newcastle United injury boost
Callum Wilson marked his first Newcastle United start of the season with a goal in the 3-2 win at Birmingham City in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday.
It was Wilson’s first start since last May following several injury issues as he played a key role in helping Newcastle progress to the last-16 of the FA Cup next month. The 32-year-old striker played a role in Joe Willock’s opener before turning the ball in himself to give Newcastle a 2-1 lead at St Andrew’s.
Tomoki Iwata pulled Birmingham back level with a stunning strike in the first half before Willock struck again in the closing stages to confirm a 3-2 win for The Magpies.
After the match, Wilson took to Instagram after scoring a ‘long-awaited’ goal. He posted an image of him celebrating along with the caption: “Felt good to be back out there with my team ✨Amazing support from you fans as usual! Another cup win and a long-awaited goal .”
It was Wilson’s first goal since his last start for Newcastle at Burnley back in May last season. And his return to scoring and starting was well received by his fellow professionals.
