Newcastle finally got their first Premier League win of the season with a 1-0 victory over Burnley.
Callum Wilson sealed all three points for Eddie Howe’s side in front of a raucous crowd at St James’ Park.
Wilson rifled home after an error by Nick Pope late on in the first half to get a crucial victory which could ignite the season.
Joelinton has been a man reborn under Howe, playing in a slightly different role but embracing it with full confidence and energy.

Joelinton sums up the change in mood around the club since Howe came in; more positive, with more belief, playing a role which suits him better.
Howe deserves credit for that and he has been talking up the Brazilian in the press since the first day he arrived.
Here is how that display from Joelinton went down on a vital afternoon for the Magpies…
