Allan Saint-Maximin praises Newcastle United teammate Joelinton on Twitter

Allan Saint-Maximin has praised his Newcastle United teammate Joelinton on Twitter for his heroics against Crystal Palace on Friday evening.

Newcastle won 2-0 against Palace away from home at Selhurst Park in the Premier League.

The match in London looked to be heading to a goalless draw, but then Joelinton turned on the style in the final stages.

The Brazilian forward set up Callum Wilson to give Newcastle the lead in the 88th minute by sliding an effort beneath Vicente Guaita.

Then just two minutes later, the 24-year-old was set up by Wilson, and he did not make any mistake in turning the ball past Guaita with a left-footed effort.
