Newcastle striker Callum Wilson admits they were fortunate to leave Leeds with a point today.

Wilson converted two penalties for the 2-2 draw.

He said: "It was not a nice game. You come away from home and you don't want that type of game. Unfortunately, they scored the first goal so it was an uphill battle but we managed to get ourselves back in the game.

"Nick Pope was fantastic and saved that penalty and kept us in the game, we had a few lapses of concentration towards the end of the game and conceded."

On his two penalties, Wilson added: "As a striker, you try not to do too much practice. You know where the back of the net is. You are always confident and back yourself and your ability to score. Whether it is form the spot or a one or one, you have to be the calmest man in the stadium and I tried to be that.

"Today, we are a point closer [to Champions League qualification] and we will take the positives."
