Newcastle United forward Callum Wilson admits he has taken responsibility for not scoring enough goals.

The England international has been going through his worst spell in a few years in terms of goalscoring.

Despite getting a regular run in the side, and presentable chances, Wilson has only ONE goal in the past 16 games.

He told the Footballer's Football podcast: We had chances (against Manchester City) but it's the same again each week. We keep saying 'we had chances, we had chances.'

I'm obviously partly to blame for that because I'm a striker and I take responsibility. Full responsibility. I never shy away from owning up and taking accountability. I need to fix up in front of goal. You're never going to go through a season of missing chances because, when you're a goalscorer, you score goals no matter what.

You just have to keep believing in yourself and don't let any self-doubt creep in. Let everybody from the outside do their talking. I hear there's a lot of noise and negativity and stuff but you've got to use that as motivation. Let people do their talking and you do your talking on a pitch."
