The striker will obviously take the headlines but how did the rest of the Magpies players perform on the afternoon? Liam Kennedy takes a look at the players’ who stood out and ones who didn’t.
Isaac Hayden, Jeff Hendrick and Miguel Almiron come in for some particular praise, as well as, of course, the the Magpies’ main man Wilson...
9. Miguel Almiron - 8
Covered the most ground of any player on the park. Played in a more central, free role and thrived. The Magpies' metronome of the front three. Photo: Clive Brunskill
10. Ryan Fraser - 7
Played high up on the left. Worked hard but did not have as big an impact as he may have liked. Would have been a top assist for THAT Wilson missed chance. Photo: CLIVE BRUNSKILL
11. Callum Wilson - 9
Got five chance. Scored twice, hit the bar and the post. For a lad who couldn't get a sniff for weeks he would have been delighted with his service. Epitomised United on the day - bright, energetic, strong and positive. Photo: Jan Kruger
12. Ciaran Clark - 7
(for Lascelles 55) Slotted in perfectly to a solid United back four. Photo: Clive Brunskill
