Norwich 0-3 Newcastle: Joelinton double and Bruno Guimaraes strike push Canaries closer to relegation back to the Championship as Eddie Howe's side put in dominant display at Carrow Road to move into top half

Daily Mail | April 23, 2022

Newcastle pushed Norwich closer to an immediate relegation back to the Championship following a comfortable win at Carrow Road.

Two goals from Joelinton and a third by Bruno Guimaraes made it an all-Brazilian scoresheet for the Magpies as they continued their excellent late season form.

But the Canaries now look doomed after they slipped eight points adrift of safety with just five matches remaining. 17th placed Everton also have two games in hand.
