Joelinton sends message to Newcastle fans after win over Wolves

Newcastle United star Joelinton has taken to social media to send a message of appreciation to the club's supporters, on the back of his side's meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Eddie Howe's troops of course kicked their campaign back into gear on Friday night.

On the back of a trio of successive defeats, the Magpies welcomed the aforementioned Wolves to St. James' Park, eyeing a much-needed return to winning ways.

And, when all was said and done, this is precisely what the day's hosts managed.

A solid all-round display ultimately culminated in Newcastle emerging on the right side of a 1-0 scoreline, courtesy of Chris Wood's penalty inside the closing 20 minutes of action.

One member of Howe's ranks to have impressed once more up against Wolves, meanwhile, was the aforementioned Joelinton.

Having long begun to establish himself as something of a fan favourite on Tyneside, the Brazilian international featured from the off in the middle of the park, looking as combative and impactful as ever.

And now, as alluded to above, Joelinton has moved to send a message to the Newcastle faithful.

In a post on his official Instagram account, the 25-year-old hailed the 'incredible support' inside St. James' on Friday, before rounding out his message of appreciation with a simple 'thank you':

PL survival in sights

Turning attentions towards the Premier League table, Newcastle's latest three-point haul, of course, has seen the Tynesiders all but ensure their top-flight status for another season.

This comes with Howe and co, once viewed as  a near shoo-in for a return to the Championship, having opened up a hefty 10-point buffer between themselves and the drop zone.
