Joelinton was in a buoyant mood at full time against Brentford as the Magpies made it four wins from five and seven games unbeaten. The Brazil midfielder claims Newcastle did everything Eddie Howe asked of them as they moved further away from the relegation zone.
Newcastle's number 7 has found a new lease of life in a deeper midfielder role and acknowledged that the Magpies had played better since the arrival of Howe. "Since he's arrived I think we've played better," Joelinton told NUFC TV. "In the first game we couldn't win but everyone said how good we were.
"Now we've started to win, the confidence is high and there's positivity around the group. Now it's time to enjoy today and Monday we'll start again, work hard and look to the next game."
