Eight goals have been scored in his last seven outings by the England striker.
Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle, applauded Callum Wilson for his forceful response to Alexander Isak's tackle.
In his last seven games, the 31-year-old England striker has scored eight goals, four of which came from the bench because Howe rotated the former Bournemouth forward and his Ł60 million summer acquisition due to a demanding schedule.
Wilson, whose performance was questioned by some after he returned from the World Cup finals, has been benched twice in the game after scoring two goals as a starter, but he has handled his annoyance exactly how Howe had intended.
He is definitely in terrific form, according to the Magpies' head coach. He is currently really concentrated. Due to the competition he faces, he is aware that he must be.
"He has always been himself, which is the highest praise I can give him. He is bouncy, bright, jovial, and full of laughter. Due to the fact that he has such a strong presence within the squad, the squad wants him to be optimistic.
"That has aided him when he has entered the game and performed admirably for us. Personally, I'm thrilled for him because he has the option of responding in one of two ways to the challenge put up to him, and he did so.
In Qatar, Wilson made two substitute appearances for his nation without scoring, and upon his return, he lasted eight games without a goal.
However, in response to the topic of whether it had been unwise to doubt his ability to continue serving as the team's primary scorer at that time, Howe responded, "It's inevitable at this great level that players are under examination. Both you guys in the press and I, as the manager, have dissected their performances to the ninth power.
Wilson, who contributed a brace in last Sunday's 3-1 victory against Southampton after coming on as a second-half substitute, will hope for the opportunity to duplicate the feat this weekend when Newcastle takes on high-flying Arsenal in an effort to move closer to Champions League qualifying.
