Watch the hilarious moment Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll puts Joelinton on his backside

This is the hilarious moment Andy Carroll bamboozled Joelinton and left the £40 million man on his backside during a recent Newcastle United training session.

The Geordie frontman posted the brilliant video on Instagram on Thursday afternoon to his Brazilian team-mate with the caption "Nope Not Today".

In the short clip during a training exercise, Carroll manages to nick the ball from his fellow forward before creating space with a Cruyff turn.

Undeterred, Joelinton shows determination to win the ball back for his side - only to be left on his backside when the former Liverpool and West Ham United striker performs another quick turn.

Carroll nonchalantly then picks out a pass to a team-mate, before checking on the fallen Brazilian and helping him to his feet.

The clip - which you can watch above - has already racked up more than 11,000 views in a matter of hours, and has caused quite a stir from Carroll's team-mates both past and present.

Fellow Magpies Dwight Gayle and Jetro Willems posted "oh my Jesus", while Joelinton responded to Carroll's post with two smiley-face emojis.

Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian - Carroll's former team-mate at West Ham, posted "TikiTaka big man" to which the striker cheekily responded "you know it mate. I’ve put a few through your legs".
