Callum Wilson scored from the penalty spot as Newcastle defeated Brentford 1-0 in the Premier League on Saturday, just days after signing a new deal. Wilson just agreed to a one-year deal that would keep him with the team through 2025. And with the victory over Brentford at St. James' Park, he immediately started to pay back Newcastle for their trust in him. The Magpies' three-match losing streak came to a stop with their first victory since the season's first game.
Eddie Howe's squad rose to 11th in the rankings when Wilson successfully converted a penalty in the 64th minute. Since thrashing Aston Villa 5-1 on August 12, Newcastle has gone winless, suffering losses to Manchester City, Liverpool, and Brighton since then. The victory could give the club more confidence going into Tuesday's Champions League game against AC Milan.
