Gary Lineker has said on Twitter that he wishes Joe Willock was playing for Arsenal and not for Newcastle United tonight.
Newcastle have got the better of Leicester with relative ease away from home at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League this evening.
Willock, who joined the Magpies on loan from Arsenal in the January transfer window, started the game and scored midway through the first half.
The 21-year-old midfielder had a brilliant game for Newcastle before being taken off in the 78th minute.
The result means that Newcastle are now pretty much guaranteed not to get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
As for Leicester, the Foxes are still in the hunt for the Champions League places, but there is a danger that they could blow it, just like they did last season.
Former Leicester and Tottenham Hotspur striker Lineker was following the match, and he has said that he wishes Willock was not playing for Newcastle tonight.
Willock is having a wonderful loan spell at Newcastle and has been superb for Steve Bruce’s side.
The midfielder has popped up with some important goals and has looked very good and solid in the middle of the park.
