Arsenal loanee Willock: Scoring against Spurs for Newcastle all the sweeter

Arsenal loanee Joe Willock was happy scoring the equaliser for Newcastle in their 2-2 draw with Tottenham.

Willock joined Newcastle on loan in January but still claims allegiance to his north London home club and admitted scoring against Arsenal's bitterest rivals made his goal all the better.

"Yeah, I'm an Arsenal player," he said. "So it does make it (scoring against Tottenham) sweeter. I'm happy to come here and do my job and make an impact like the manager told me to.'

A single point has done little to alleviate Newcastle's relegation worries but Willock remains confident they can avoid the drop.

"As a group of players collectively, we're all here to fight for each other,' he said. 'I feel like if we play like we did today, we'll have no problems staying in this league."
