Newcastle caretaker manager Graeme Jones praises the finishing ability of Callum Wilson after their draw at Crystal Palace.
The Magpies number nine produced a sensational overhead kick with his back to goal in the 65th minute to earn a share of the spoils in the capital after Christian Benteke had opened the scoring nine minutes earlier in the half.
Jones said: “With Cal he is a unique striker. In training he is a good finisher, he works and is a fantastic professional but on matchday there is a stimulation that comes out of him that he has the mentality to perform for Newcastle United.
“He is the best matchday finisher I have worked with and that is not even half a chance and it's in the back of the net which tells you everyone about Callum Wilson."
Jones went with five at the back at Selhurst Park and insisted it was important they went back to basics.
“We came here to win. That was the intention. We didn't so the next best thing is a point," the Gateshead-born interim boss added.
“Off the ball I was pleased with the organisation and understanding of the runs. I think we limited Palace to one chance in the first half and in the second half they have had two. It is a base for us to start.
“I would like for us to be better on the ball but that doesn't come overnight. It takes time and we've concentrated on trying to shore up a little bit and not concede as many goals. I think that worked."
