David Moyes has admitted that he could not even 'use the words he would like to' when describing his side's defending for Joelinton's first goal in Newcastle United's 5-1 win against West Ham.
It was Joelinton who doubled Newcastle's advantage after Callum Wilson opened the scoring in the early stages of the game. There were 13 minutes on the clock when Fabian Schar's diagonal ball caught West Ham's sleepy defence napping and Joelinton latched onto his team-mate's pass.
Although West Ham appealed for offside, Joelinton smartly played to the whistle and rounded Lukasz Fabianski to put Newcastle 2-0 up. There was a lengthy VAR check, but referee Craig Pawson duly awarded the goal after the Brazilian was played onside by Emerson.
