Arsenal star Joe Willock and Liverpool loanee Takumi Minamino score in Newcastle vs Southampton clash – but Shkodran Mustafi’s struggles continue

 

It was Willock and Newcastle who struck first as he scored 16 minutes into his Magpies debut as he struck home following good work on the left by Allan Saint-Maximin.

Minamino got on the scoresheet after half an hour as he blasted the ball into the roof of the net with his left foot moments after Jan Bednarek’s own goal gave Steve Bruce’s side a 2-0 lead.

Newcastle are in a commanding position with Miguel Almiron putting them 3-1 up as he dispossessed Ryan Bertrand, who received a dodgy pass from Southampton keeper Alex McCarthy.

So Willock and Minamino are both off to a flyer but the same can’t be said for Shkodran Mustafi, who’s on loan with German club Schalke.
