MW4 stats: Wilson matches Ferdinand feat

6 Oct 2020

Newcastle's summer signing has already emulated a club great with his strong start at St James' Park

Callum Wilson could hardly have hoped for a better start at Newcastle United, with Saturday's double against Burnley taking him to four goals in as many Premier League matches.

The summer signing from AFC Bournemouth has already emulated a feat achieved by one of the club's most famous strikers, Les Ferdinand, 25 years ago.
