Newcastle United fans all saying the same thing as Joelinton scores vs Rochdale in the FA Cup

Joelinton has finally scored his first goal at St James' Park and it has led to reaction aplenty from Newcastle United fans.

The 23-year-old signed for the Magpies last summer from 1899 Hoffenheim and was expected to hit the ground running.

Whilst he scored the only goal in an impressive 1-0 win at Tottenham earlier this term, the Brazilian has struggled to find his feet on Tyneside.

However, a third round FA Cup replay tie at home to Rochdale on Tuesday night was a great opportunity to build some confidence and Newcastle fans are now hoping that turns out to be the case.

Steve Bruce's men won the clash 4-1 thanks to an own goal from Rochdale's Eoghan O'Connell and strikes from Matty Longstaff, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton , while Jordan Williams scored a consolation goal for the visitors.

Whilst Newcastle will have much tougher opposition moving forward in both the FA Cup and the Premier League, fans have recognised the importance of the goal for Joelinton. Here is the best of the reaction below.
