Joelinton's reaction after Newcastle goal should worry Manchester United, Spurs and Liverpool

There were still 36 minutes left on the clock at the Gtech Community Stadium, but Newcastle United were not in the mood to waste a second after equalising against Brentford.

There were no over the top celebrations after David Raya's own goal. Not only did Callum Wilson immediately pick up the ball so that the game could get back under way - Joelinton whipped up the away end behind the goal even further by throwing his arms up and down.

The message was clear: Newcastle United were going for the win rather than settling for a point. That response should worry Newcastle's top four rivals, particularly when the visitors backed it up, and Alexander Isak duly popped up with a decisive second just a few minutes later following a stunning first-time finish.
