Newcastle United managed to head back north with three more points in the bag after downing Brentford two goals to nil.
Joelinton doubled his tally for the season, making it two Premier League goals for Newcastle’s record signing. His other goal earlier in the season also came against Brentford, he must love playing them!

Joe Willock settled the tie before the break, making it 2-0. It was a professional performance from Newcastle who made the extra man advantage count. Josh Dasilva saw red for a horror challenge with just 11 minutes on the clock.
On BBC’s Final Score, Chris Wise lauded the Brazilian: “It really was all about Newcastle in terms of their control of the game, their finishing, Joelinton with a powerful header.”
Not only did he score the opening goal, he battled all day in the middle of the pitch being involved in a total of 19 duels.
He won eight of his 14 ground duels and three of his five aerial duels, showing how involved he was throughout the game for Eddie Howe’s side.
He made four clearances and won three free-kicks, proving to be a real nuisance for Brentford during the game. Only Shelvey had more touches in the Newcastle midfield, even then it wasn’t that many more, conveying how involved he was.
