LONDON: Perseverance finally paid off for Newcastle United's Brazilian forward Joelinton as he shrugged off a night of frustration to help his side to a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Friday.
It was only the South American's third league goal since his move from Hoffenheim but his work rate could not be faulted. Newcastle's win, after back-to-back league defeats, lifted them to 10th in the table on 14 points from 10 games with Palace a point behind in 13th place."We created a few opportunities and missed the right pass but the strikers showed a little bit of quality," Newcastle manager Steve Bruce said."Joe's price tag and wearing the number nine at Newcastle, he has struggled with it.
Palace, missing the flair of Wilfried Zaha who has tested positive for COVID-19, picked up after a cagey start and the lively Eberechi Eze stung the fingers of Karl Darlow who then made a fine save to keep out Jeffrey Schlupp's powerful effort.
