Newcastle ace Willock appreciated Saka and Arsenal reception

Newcastle United ace Joe Willock received a post-match gift from one of his old teammates.

Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was in a generous mood after his team's 4-1 win over the Magpies in the Premier League.

Willock, who was on the losing side, came off the bench in the 73rd minute and scored ten minutes later.

Willock was seen post-game chatting with Saka and his other old teammates.

He was given Saka's match-worn shirt as a gift to mark the occasion.

Post-game, he said: "I'm grateful for my reception that I got from the Arsenal fans. They gave me a good reception. Arsenal gave me a lot during my career.

"I was there since I was four and a half, so they gave me a lot, and I'm thankful for them, but today playing for Newcastle United and losing was a bit disappointing."
