Manchester United suffered a defeat at St James Park to Newcastle United. Willock’s 65th-minute header, his third goal of the season, and a second from substitute Wilson two minutes from time inflicted just a second defeat in 17 games in all competitions on Erik ten Hag’s side.
Newcastle created more chances in the game and might have gone ahead through Alexander Isak, Sean Longstaff and Willock before they eventually scored in a bubbling St James Park.
The Magpies are only above the Red Devils in the table on goal difference, and just two points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham, but they do hold a game in hand on Spurs and will believe that Champions League qualification is there to be shot at.
Manchester United have failed to score a goal in their last three premier league games.
Newcastle fans and players will be delighted at the result after losing to Manchester United in the Carabao Cup final.
