Newcastle United signed off the 2020/21 Premier League season with a 2-0 win over Fulham.
The Magpies took three more points and actually moved up to 12th place on the final day courtesy of favourable results elsewhere.
It was that man Joe Willock who made headlines once again.
The 21-year-old scored in his seventh straight game for the club, before Fabian Schar converted a penalty.
Willock’s goal was superbly taken, driving from his own half before eventually finishing in the bottom corner.
His effort meant he equalled Alan Shearer’s record of scoring in seven games in a row – an amazing feat for a young player coming in on loan having hardly played before January.
The praise has once again been flooding in for Willock, and obviously many fans are now clamouring for him to be signed permanently.
One reaction that has been getting a fair bit of attention is from Mark Gillespie.
The club’s third-choice goalkeeper, who was on the bench for yesterday’s game, posted an edited picture of Willock’s head on Shearer wheeling away doing his classic one-armed celebration.
The tweet was lapped up by Toon fans and Shearer himself also found the tweet hilarious:
