Alan Shearer has hailed Newcastle United's 'absolutely fantastic' Brazilian duo Bruno Guimaraes and Joelinton following the latest victory against Norwich City. The Magpies recorded a fourth straight league win on Saturday afternoon to move up to ninth in the table.
Eddie Howe made four changes for the trip to Carrow Road, and it was Joelinton who opened the scoring on his 100th Premier League appearance with an emphatic first-time finish. The former number nine grabbed his second just minutes later, tapping-in at the far post following a sliding challenge on Jacob Murphy.
Guimaraes put the result beyond doubt shortly after the restart, capitalising on a Tim Krul error with a sublime chip over the former Newcastle goalkeeper. The impact of the marquee January signing and the reborn Joelinton were both picked out for praise by BBC Sport pundit Shearer in his post-match analysis on Match of the Day.
