Yoane Wissa became the 1000th player to represent Newcastle United in a league fixture after making his Magpies debut in Saturday's 2-1 home victory against Burnley.

The DR Congo international made his highly-anticipated bow for Eddie Howe's side last weekend, introduced as a 75th minute substitute in last weekend's Premier League win against the Clarets at St. James' Park.

Wissa, who joined United from Brentford in September before suffering a posterior cruciate ligament injury whilst on international duty, hit the significant milestone after Anthony Elanga, Jacob Ramsey, Nick Woltemade, Malick Thiaw and Aaron Ramsdale, who all joined the club last summer, had already made their bows earlier this term.

Congratulations to Yoane on making his Newcastle United debut along with achieving the impressive feat.
