Joelinton's team-mates were on their way back to the dressing room, but the entranced Brazilian did not even appear to notice that he was the last man standing at full-time following Newcastle United's 2-0 win against Brentford.
"He's Brazilian. He only cost £40 million. We think he's f------ brilliant. It's Joe-lin-ton," the away end boomed as the midfielder stood in front of the 1,700 Newcastle fans who made the journey to the capital.
This was an unimaginable scene not so long ago when the struggling Joelinton did not even have a fixed position - let alone his own chant.
