Premier
Finds equalizer with header
Willock scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Wednesday's 1-1 draw versus Paris Saint-Germain.
ANALYSIS
Willock delivered a solid two-way performance against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, scoring with a header late in the first half from a headed assist by Dan Burn, while also contributing defensively with two tackles and a season-high three interceptions. The midfielder has mainly been used off the bench this season, starting just four of his 17 appearances, and should remain a backup option to Joelinton moving forward.

Howe added, "Joe trained on Tuesday and Wednesday and trained really well. When he went down in the game [in Korea] I thought he was going to be out longer term, it didn't look good. Credit to him, he's got back fit and looking good."
