Newcastle United's recent goalscoring hero spotted celebrating in style, dishing out Champagne in a festive gathering.

Newcastle United festive goal hero Joelinton was seen waving a bottle of Champagne just hours after putting Manchester United to the sword.

The Brazilian netted the Magpies’ second in a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford, the team’s first league win there since 2013, and only their second since 1972.

And to celebrate, the striker turned midfielder was justifiably in a jovial mood at a gathering of family and friends on New Year’s Eve, just 24 hours after the famous victory.

In a video posted to his wife Thays Gondim’s Instagram, the Newcastle star is seen filling up the cups of revellers at a party also attended by United captain Bruno Guimaraes.

‘Great feeling’

As mentioned, Joelinton was, of course, Newcastle United’s hero at Old Trafford.

He netted his second goal in two games, his third of the season in the North West.

Speaking to NUFC TV, he said: “It was the perfect way to end the year, with three points on the road and a win here.

“After a long time, to have the team winning a game again here in the Premier League, it’s a great feeling for us and the fans, who have been supporting us everywhere we go.

“We knew about (Old Trafford record). I’ve been here five-and-a-half years now, and we’ve had some difficult games here. The fans have had a difficult time here as well. To come here, play good football, and get the three points is a great feeling. We just have to keep going now.”

‘We have to protect the confidence’

The Magpies have hit a groove of late, stringing a remarkable run of five wins on the bounce since their dismal second half show at Brentford.

In that time, they’ve not only progressed to the semi-final of the Carabao Cup, but they’ve also won four games in the top flight without conceding a goal.

“I think everyone is playing with a lot of confidence and playing well at the moment,” said Joelinton.

“We know we have to keep our feet on the ground and be humble, and work hard because we have to protect the confidence now. The same way that it has come, it can go. We just have to focus on the next game.

“I think I’ve been playing well the last few games. I feel really good about myself, really good physically, and that is a big part of my game. I’m confident, like the team is at the moment. We’re enjoying our football, playing free, and hopefully that can continue for a long time.”
