Newcastle beat Tottenham 1-0 on Sunday to claim their first three points of the Premier League season.
Joelinton scored an excellent goal to win the match for the Toon, bringing the ball down in the box before finding the bottom corner with a crisp strike.
One player who excelled, however, was Paul Dummett as the centre-back came away with the official man of the match award.

Joe has taken the opportunity to aim a dig at Pardew…

READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
Dummett was superb at the back against Spurs, helping Newcastle keep their first clean sheet of the new campaign.
He was outstanding in the air, winning several aerial duels in the box and made a number of vital clearances to avert further pressure from Spurs in the final third.
After a collective disappointing performance against Norwich last weekend, Dummett and his teammates are sure to be happy with their improved display against Tottenham.
