Willock hits a record set by the legendary Alan Shearer

Young Arsenal-owned Joe Willock has equaled a record held by legend Alan Shearer: score 5 goals in his first 11 games for Newcastle United. The midfielder managed to score the first goal of the game against Leicester in a comfortable 2-4 away win.

It is his fourth consecutive game seeing the door. In this case, he took advantage of the lack of concentration of the Turkish central of the 'foxes' Caglar Soyuncu to steal the ball and beat goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Alan Shearer hopes Arsenal don't think about Willock for next season and stay. “Hopefully he doesn't go,” Shearer replied on Twitter., expressing that he would like to see the 21-year-old extend his stay at the club. The legend joined the club in 1996, though scored 27 times in his debut season on Tyneside. Almost nothing.

Speaking on Sky Sports about the goal, the former Newcastle manager Graeme Souness criticized Soyuncu's role in the goal, arguing that this action was not typical of a Premier League defender.

However, Souness also praised Willock's performance. and affirmed that his home club, Arsenal, would have enjoyed the midfielder on the pitch and might not have been eliminated in the Europa League semi-finals against Villarreal.
