Third-placed Newcastle were rocked shortly before halftime when Stuart Armstrong put the visitors ahead, but Newcastle, who have not played in the Champions League for two decades, dominated the second half with substitute Wilson making an immediate impact with a tap-in goal.

He then had another disallowed for offside, but Southampton’s relief was short-lived as an own goal by Theo Walcott put Eddie Howe’s side in front.

Two minutes later Wilson, who had come on at halftime, sealed the points after being played in by Alexander Isak.

In the Scottish Cup, Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic beat Rangers 1-0 their semi-final. Celtic will play Inverness Caledonian Thistle, who defeated Falkirk 3-0 on Saturday.
