After a mostly torrid winter run, Newcastle have picked things up in a big way, winning their last four games in all competitions, scoring 14 times in the process.
Their latest was an impressive 3-0 victory over Aston Villa, capped off by a screamer from Joelinton.
The Magpies were in control almost from the off, with Anthony Gordon opening the scoring after just two minutes. Jhon DurƔn's red card just after the half hour was terminal for Unai Emery's side, and Alexander Isak finished them off just before the hour.
The best was saved for last, though, with Joelinton brilliantly curling one home from the edge of the box.
The win has Eddie Howe's side suddenly in sight of the top four, and they next face an ailing Manchester United at Old Trafford on the 30th.
