Joelinton explains why Eddie Howe hasn't had one complaint from players amid Newcastle United squad rotation

Newcastle United star Joelinton says that Toon players are prepared to run through a brick wall for Eddie Howe.

The Newcastle head coach has got his team in a great place going into the run-in and despite effectively wielding the axe in the last two matches he hasn't had a single complaint. Joelinton expects it to stay that way too.

Speaking about team spirit, Joelinton said: "He's made good decisions all season, he's great and everyone he put in tried their best.

"I was given the chance to come back in today and I gave everything to help the team. If Joe Willock had played he would have done the same, we have a great mentality and the same goals where everyone is together and everyone is trying to do their best for Newcastle."

Joelinton's double haul at West Ham in the 5-1 demolition in Stratford took his tally for the season to five strikes. After finding himself suspended in recent weeks it was a relief to be playing and getting back in the goals.

The Brazilian said: "I'm very delighted. Firstly to come back into the starting 11 and I like to help the team with the goals.

"I'm happy for everyone, it was a great game. We knew it would be difficult but we prepared well and we knew that would be important in the game if we want to achieve our goals."
