Ally McCoist says he's never seen such a huge transformation of a player than Joelinton at Newcastle United since Eddie Howe arrived at the club.
Joelinton has been handed a new lease of life by Howe, who transformed him from a misfiring striker to a box-to-box midfielder. The Brazilian netted twice in Newcastle's 5-1 win over West Ham United at the London Stadium last week, and played an instrumental role in the Magpies' first goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Brentford.
Newcastle had been trailing 1-0 when Joelinton surged inside from the right and saw his effort take a telling deflection off David Raya, who was credited with the own goal.
