Newcastle United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Joelinton against Southampton at home on Sunday afternoon.

Joelinton was in action for Newcastle in their Premier League game against Southampton at St. James’ Park.

The 23-year-old centre-forward started the match and played for 59 minutes, as the Magpies won 2-1.

The Brazilian struggled to make an impact on the game and had yet another disappointing time in front of goal.

According to WhoScored, the forward took one shot which was not on target, had a pass accuracy of 57.1%, won 10 headers, took 35 touches, attempted one dribble, and made one interception and two clearances.

So far this season, Joelinton has made 15 starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Steve Bruce’s side, scoring one goal and providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.

Newcastle fans were not impressed with the display produced by Joelinton against Southampton and have criticised him on Twitter.
