Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson was delighted to prove the matchwinner against Brentford.

Wilson converted a penalty won by Gordon, having been fouled by Bees goalkeeper Mark Flekken, for the only goal of the game.

Wilson later said, "It (the win) was massive. The break probably came at a good time for us, we were on a run of defeats and needed back to winning ways. The break got us to regroup, we worked on a few things we had to improve. We had to win ugly and three points were the most important today."

On any nerves before the match, he insisted: "I don't think in the dressing room or the squad. We have full belief in ourselves and each other. For the fans yes because last time we were here we were 1-0 up in the 90th and conceded two late goals. You can understand that anxiousness but when we were 1-0 up today we had to stay professional, see it out and we did that thankfully."

On his penalty, Wilson said: "Pressure is for tyres. For me, practice in training and on a matchday you've done it so many times and it's just repetition, stay composed and that's what I did."
