‘Unbelievable scenes’: Newcastle United star Callum Wilson gushes over last-minute Morpeth Town keeper heroics

Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson has praised an unforgettable goal scored by Morpeth Town goalkeeper Dan Lowson.

The Northumberland non-league side played their final home game of the season last weekend against Warrington Rylands and it was one for the history books.

Morpeth were 3-0 down at halftime and after a rip-roaring second half, managed to pull the score level in the 95th minute thanks to goalkeeper Lowson who netted after coming up the pitch for a corner.

It was celebrations all around after the full-time whistle and in the days after, once heart rates had slowed, the club sent a clip of the goal to BBC Sounds' Footballer's Football Podcast to be analysed by Wilson and West Ham United striker Michail Antonio.

Explaining what happened in the match, podcast host Rickie Haywood-Williams said: "So it's the last home game of the season, you want to end the season on a high.

"Morpeth Town are 3-0 down at half time, having a shocker. Imagine you're going to spend the whole summer with no game to erase the memories of the defeat.

"Strong words at halftime, the gaffer is telling them to get organised and at least win the second half. They get a goal, then another goal, it's now 3-2. Then in the 95th minute, there's a free kick out wide, the keeper goes up, and you're thinking lob the ball in the box.

"Morpeth Town have a little free kick routine planned out and it works an absolute treat."

After watching the clip and chucking, Wilson admitted that he loved everything about the goal.

He said: "That video makes me happy man, that's what football is. Last minute of the game, equalised.

"The other day Coventry City had a keeper do the same thing, my guys from Cov. Unbelievable scenes."

Antonio also added his congratulations to Lowson for his "qualify finish".

Speaking after the game, the Morpeth man of the moment shared his thoughts on the madness.

Lowson said: "It's been one of those seasons and rounds it off nicely. It was so disappointing at half time, the goals were horrendous. We didn't want to go out and look like we don't care because that wasn't the case.

"It was one of them things, it felt like we were never going to get it. I went up and he found us. It was a poacher's finish!"

The end of the season got even better for Morpeth Town this week as the side took to the St James' Park turf in the Northumberland FA Senior Cup against Blyth Spartans.

Morpeth ran out 2-0 winners to defeat the holders and lift the Techflow Marine Senior Cup for the fourth time.
