# Joelinton impressed against Wolves

Newcastle United scored a late equaliser to [earn a point away to Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://www.nufc.co.uk/matches/first-team/2022-23/wolverhampton-wanderers-v-newcastle-united/) on Sunday and Joelinton came away with the plaudits after impressing at Molineux.

The 26-year-old started alongside Joe Willock and Sean Longstaff in midfield and put in an all-action display to thwart Wolves’ attacks while creating chances at the other end. No player had more dribbles, created more chances or made more tackles than Joelinton over the weekend.

*Lee Ryder* of [Chronicle Live](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-player-ratings-wolves-24875697) gave the Brazilian a player rating of 8/10 and said he did well in Bruno Guimaraes absence by turning over possession and driving with the ball from deep. *Dominic Scurr* of [Shields Gazette](https://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/football/newcastle-united/newcastle-united-player-ratings-ps20m-man-couldnt-be-faulted-but-invisible-teammate-410-v-wolves-3822395?page=2) gave Joelinton a player rating of 7/10 and said he provided much-needed ‘bite’ in midfield.

[Against Wolves](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1640713/LiveStatistics/England-Premier-League-2022-2023-Wolverhampton-Newcastle), Joelinton played for 90 minutes, had 78 touches, won one aerial duel, completed 78.9% of his 52 passes, created three chances, had two shots, whipped in one cross, made two tackles, had one interception, made one clearance, won a freekick and had four successful dribbles.

Joelinton has made [five appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joelinton/leistungsdaten/spieler/333241) in all competitions this campaign, playing every minute of every Premier League game, so he’s picking up from where he left off last season.
