Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson has urged fans to stick with them after defeat to Tottenham.

Wilson returned from a four-game injury lay-off to open the scoring with his third goal of the campaign against Tottenham on Sunday, but ended up on the losing side as the visitors emerged with a 3-2 win on the Magpies' big day.

Asked what his message to the fans was, 29-year-old Wilson told NUFC TV: “To stick with us.

“We're building, we're in a new era. We're trying to get a result for the fans – ultimately the result is going to come.

“If we keep working hard for the team, for the club, then the results are going to follow. There were teams last season that didn't have a win for almost as many games and ended up finishing fifth and sixth in the league, so it just shows it can be done.

“It's very early days in the season, but ultimately you do need to get that first win and we're going to be working hard on the training field day in, day out to make sure that happens."
