Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe praised the versatility of forward Joelinton, who was the catalyst for a come-from-behind 3-1 Premier League victory over hosts Nottingham Forest on Sunday that moved his side into the top half of the table.

The all-action superstar was at his very best in a 3-1 away win at Nottingham Forest. Despite training at half-time, Newcastle grabbed control with Alexander Isak, Joelinton, and Harvey Barnes goals. "Joey scored a great goal - it was probably the key moment in the game," Howe stated post-game.

Yet it was high-flying Nottingham Forest who struck first midway through the first half. Newcastle had half a dozen players standing along the six-yard line as Anthony Elanga stepped up to take a wide free-kick, but Alexander Isak took a couple of steps back, which inadvertently created space for Murillo to sprint into and head home.
