Clinton Morrison had high praise for Joe Willock's impact in his return to the starting lineup for Newcastle United in their recent match against Manchester United.
The former footballer shared his thoughts during a discussion on the BBC's '5 Live Sport' and highlighted the significant role the Englishman played in the game.
Morrison wasn't just impressed with the 24-year-old; he also commended the performances of two young talents, Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento.
The Magpies had a fantastic night, securing a comfortable 3-0 victory against United and progressing to the next round. According to the pundit, this success was in part due to the tactical choices made by manager Eddie Howe.
“After the first 10 minutes they were the better team by a country mile.
“Eddie Howe got his tactics spot on. The two young boys in Hall and Livramento were outstanding."
“And credit to Joe Willock too, he’s been out a long time, and I thought he was outstanding.” stated the pundit, quoted by TBR Football.
