'A joy to work with' Eddie Howe on Newcastle United's boys from Brazil

Eddie Howe has hailed his boys from Brazil and revealed they are "a joy" to work with following their demolition job on Norwich City on Saturday afternoon. Joelinton, restored to his role as a striker, led the way with two well-taken goals at Carrow Road before Bruno Guimaraes put the lid on it with a wonderful chip over Tim Krul at the start of the second half.

Howe says that the pair's flamboyance can benefit Newcastle as they prepare to have a say in the title race with games against Liverpool and Manchester City. When asked about the South American duo, Howe said: "They’re a joy to work with. They do have that inner strength.

"They’re both great people and they’ve become integral to the squad. They’re settled in and very popular. They do have a slight flamboyance with the way they play. "I’m delighted with both of them and long may that continue really."
