Match-winner Joe Willock is confident Newcastle can complete their Premier League survival mission after nudging them towards the finishing line.
The 21-year-old Arsenal loanee was a frustrated man after missing out on a place in Steve Bruce's starting line-up for Saturday's clash with West Ham at St James' Park, but provided the perfect response when he scored the decisive goal in a 3-2 win seconds after being sent on.
Victory sent the Magpies nine points clear of Fulham inside the relegation zone with just six games left to play, and while the 35 points they have accumulated to date may not yet be enough, Willock is confident that salvation is within their grasp.
