Newcastle United star Joelinton, through social media, sent a message of appreciation to the club’s fans, against the background of his team’s meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Eddie Howe’s forces, of course, began their campaign again on Friday night.
Against a backdrop of losing streak, the Magpies welcomed the aforementioned Wolves to St James’ Park, looking forward to a much-needed return to their winning ways.
And when all was said and done, that’s exactly what today’s hosts managed.
A strong all-round display eventually culminated when Newcastle appeared on the right flank of the score 1-0, thanks to a Chris Wood penalty in the final 20 minutes of the match.

Meanwhile, one of the members of Howe’s ranks who impressed him again against the Wolves, was the aforementioned Joelinton.
Having long since begun to establish himself as a fan-favorite in Tyneside, the Brazil international emerged from the outside in the middle of the park, looking as combative and influential as ever.
And now, as noted above, Jolinton has moved to send a message to the Newcastle followers.
In a post on his official Instagram account, the 25-year-old paid tribute to the “amazing support” within St James’ on Friday, before concluding his letter of appreciation with a simple ‘Thank you’:
