Kuol appearance, Wilson frustration and Joelinton hint - Newcastle moments you may have missed

Newcastle United ended their frustrating run of form with an emphatic win at the hands of Fulham on Saturday afternoon. Miguel Almiron helped himself to a double, while Callum Wilson and Sean Longstaff got in on the act with the other two strikes.

Fulham's quest was hampered significantly with the early sending off of Nathaniel Chalobah but Newcastle made their extra man count with a dominant display. Eddie Howe's side now sit seventh in the Premier League.

Here are the moments you may have missed from Newcastle's much-needed win at Craven Cottage.

Kuol gets a taste

What better way to acquaint yourself with Newcastle United than spending a raucous afternoon in the away end! Garang Kuol, the Magpies' newest signing, was mobbed by fans as he watched his new club in action with Toon supporters in the capital.

Kuol, 18, won't join Newcastle until 2023 and is yet to receive a work permit but will be hoping to be a part of games like that if he makes it to the first team on Tyneside in years to come.

Dec in attendance

Kuol wasn't the only fan in attendance as one half of Newcastle's favourite duo also watched on in London. Declan Donnelly was swarmed by supporters as he made his way through crowds with Amanda Staveley and other Newcastle board members.

The Geordie presenter was also seen enjoying a sing song with fans after the game as he made his way inside the stadium. The big question is... Where was Ant?

Wilson's frustration

Callum Wilson was back among the goals on Saturday as he marked his return from injury with an early header for the Magpies. With Newcastle 3-0 up at half-time, fans were urging Eddie Howe to take the striker off early and wrap him up in cotton wool.

Howe finally obliged in the 65th-minute, replacing the former Bournemouth man with Ryan Fraser. However, Wilson wasn't too pleased.

Sensing he could add to his goal tally, the Newcastle forward was reluctant to make way and needed a quick chat with Howe on the sidelines after as the boss explained why the change was necessary.

Joelinton issue

Joelinton was expected to start Saturday's game in west London but was an unused substitute after picking up a knock before the weekend. The Brazilian wasn't needed off the bench as Newcastle cruised to their second win of the campaign.

Warming up with his fellow substitutes, Joelinton sported a knee brace before the game. The midfielder has barely trained in recent days and will be hopeful of returning for Brentford next week.
