Alan Shearer reacts to Newcastle win over West Ham, hails 21-yr-old’s contribution – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Newcastle United picked up a 3-2 win over West Ham United in the Premier League yesterday.
The victory over the Hammers will come as a massive boost to Steve Bruce’s side who are fighting for their survival in the Premier League.
The Magpies are now nine points clear of 18th placed Fulham and it would be a huge surprise if they fail to preserve their Premier League status for another season at the very least.
An own goal from Issa Diop and strikes from Joelinton and Joe Willock sealed the three points for the Magpies yesterday.
Newcastle will be hoping to build on it on the result and finish the season strongly now. With the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson back from injury, the Magpies will certainly improve in the coming weeks.
Former Newcastle striker Alan Shearer has shared his reaction to the win over West Ham on social media.
Yesssssssssssssssss

Shearer has also hailed the performance of on-loan Arsenal midfielder Willock who scored a late winner for the Magpies yesterday. The 21-year-old midfielder has had an outstanding loan spell with Newcastle so far and Bruce will be looking to keep him at the club beyond this season.
Willock has chipped in with important goals against Spurs and Southampton in recent weeks and the fans will be hoping for more of the same in the remaining matches.
Yes Joe Willock!!! Well done and congratulations
