Kenedy completed 57 minutes in the draw away to Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon – and the Newcastle Untied fans on Twitter were blown away by his performance.

The 21-year-old winger turned in another dazzling display in just his second appearance for the Magpies since he joined on loan from Chelsea in January.

Rafael Benitez’s side had to settle for a point in the Premier League and that means they are just one point above the drop zone.

Mohamed Diame put the visitors in front in the first-half as he scored from close-range at the back post.

However, Luka Milivojevic equalised from the penalty spot for Palace after Ciaran Clark was penalised for a foul on Christian Benteke.

The North-East club host Manchester United next and are without a win in the league since 1 January.

Newcastle fans on social media raved about left-sided flyer Kenedy for his display and he has quickly become a firm favourite at St James’ Park.

The Brazilian trickster has shown that he has great pace and trickery in the final third that can trouble full-backs.

He is being used in a more advanced position under Benitez, but is yet to complete 90 minutes and he could be being eased into it after a lack of first-team football at Chelsea earlier in the campaign.
