NEWCASTLE star Joe Willock was raging at himself after accidentally assisting Dominic Solanke's opener in the Toon's 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
Willock, 24, dispossessed Antoine Semenyo on the edge of the Newcastle penalty area.
But his interception inadvertently sent the ball into the path of Cherries striker Solanke.
And the former Liverpool man made no mistake as he smashed the ball past Nick Pope to give the home side the lead on the hour mark.

After the ball hit the back of the net, the Sky Sports cameras caught a furious Willock jumping up in a fit of rage.
And it proved to be a crucial moment in the match as Solanke went on to double Bournemouth's advantage 13 minutes later.
It was a second defeat in four days for Newcastle - who lost 2-0 at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday.
And manager Eddie Howe admitted after the game that the hectic schedule and injury crisis led to them running out of steam ahead of the international break.
Newcastle had a host of players unavailable including Callum Wilson, Alexander Isak, Sandro Tonali, Jacob Murphy, Dan Burn and Harvey Barnes.
Miguel Almiron also came off after half an hour with a hamstring problem.

Howe told BBC MOTD: "It was just a game too far and we couldn't respond. Bournemouth played well but we were well below par.
"It was a tough afternoon. We weren't ourselves in possession or out of possession. If you can't do that at this level, it will be a difficult day.
"When we are under fatigue and stretched, we usually respond better. We need to dust ourselves down and come back in strong.

"I don't know. Miguel Almiron's looks like a hamstring problem. It's unclear how Fabian Schar and Sean Longstaff are feeling.
"Nick Pope made some great saves for us and he needed to as we were leaking chances. Jamaal Lascelles did great in the air too but I don't think there were too many bright sparks. We were well off it.
"We have a whole host of players and we need them back as soon as we can. We have a busy December as well so it's not a good mix but something we have to get used to."
