Dan Burn fast joining Joelinton as unlikely Newcastle cult hero

No player has summed up Newcastle's turnaround this season like Joelinton.

They sang his name - to the tune of Oasis hit She's Electric - when he bumped Pascal Gross off the ball and pinged a 40-yard pass out to Emil Krafth, they sang it when he slid back to tackle Danny Welbeck and they sang it when he was booked after a late clash with Marc Cucurella.

It could be heard in the city after the game, in the station, and on the train as fans made their way home.

His displays over the past two months have him down as a frontrunner with supporters for Newcastle's player of the season, and may even lead to calls for him to be part of Brazil's World Cup squad.
