Fulham 0-2 Newcastle: Joe Willock and Fabian Schar prove to be the difference as Scott Parker's side bid farewell to the Premier League

This fixture had long since been prophesied as the final-day survival showdown.

In the end it was a dead-rubber best remembered for a goal by a young man for whom relegation scraps should not be a concern.

Joe Willock, the Arsenal loanee, has now scored in his last seven matches for Newcastle, equalling a feat last achieved by Alan Shearer 25 years ago.

It was Willock who proved to be the difference between Fulham and Newcastle on Sunday
The 21-year-old midfielder scored in the 23rd minute to give Newcastle a 1-0 advantage

At 21, his future belongs at the top end of the table. But that about next season? Steve Bruce wants to make permanent his stay on Tyneside.
