Newcastle, who are in danger of relegation, scored a valuable goal in Monday night’s 1-1 draw with Manchester United at St James’ Park – thanks to Jolton’s man of action.
Recorded by α 40 million from Hoffenheim in June 2019, the Brazilian forward was widely expected to be the answer to the club’s goal-scoring crisis.
Since then, he has scored 11 goals in 99 games, and the 29-year-old has fallen short of expectations – and as a result has attracted a lot of criticism.
Despite the challenges ahead, one thing that stands out in the club’s record signing is the extent of his work.
Newcastle were forced into the midfield after Newcastle were reduced to 10 men in a stellar performance in last month’s World Cup qualifier against Norwich.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe liked what he saw, and quickly chose to deploy Jolinton in the middle of the park – and he was inspired.

BBC Sport, The newly baptized midfielder has hit the ball 63 times (more than any of his teammates). He played a lot of football and created a lot of chances, leaving the ball to the side and moving forward.
In light of his contribution, it is not surprising that Jolinton was selected as the man of the match at the end of the match.
However, Sky Sports interviewer Patrick Davison, who attracted a lot of fans, chose to open up after the game.
“So can I be completely honest with Jolton? I didn’t know you were so good,” Davison said.
Thanks to this honor, as you can see in the video below, Jolinton took the plunge and continued the interview. We suspect that many others did not.

But Jolton’s midfield partner Sean Longstaff ended the interview in a dramatic way, exploding his negative side.
“We know how good Jolinton is and the respect he receives is embarrassing,” Longston said.
“In daily practice he is the best player and if you train him in your team you will shout because you will always win.
“The manager has been in training since he arrived. All the members of the club hold him in high esteem. The noise from the outside is very disrespectful and you can see how good it is.

Newcastle’s points with United move them two points clear at the top of the Premier League table, although 17th-placed Watford are now three games away from relegation due to the extension of Covd-19.
