Callum Wilson admitted there will be some soul-searching from Newcastle over the next few days after they started their Premier League campaign with a 4-2 defeat at home to West Ham.

Newcastle' s new number nine opened the scoring after just five minutes to send a St James' Park crowd in excess of 50,000 into raptures while the Magpies held a 2-1 lead at half-time.

But the Hammers battled back and scored three times in the space of 14 second-half minutes to secure victory on the opening weekend of the season, much to the chagrin of Wilson.
