Newcastle United striker Joelinton admitted mixed emotions after their 3-3 draw with Brentford.
Joelinton expressed his delight at netting his maiden goal of the 2021/22 campaign, his first since May, but revealed his side ought to have taken maximum points against Thomas Frank's side.
"I thought we played well," the 25-year-old forward told nufc.co.uk. "We have to try and look at what we did well but also what we didn't. We stuck together, scored three goals, and were unlucky not to get the win.
"It does feel like two points dropped. I had a great chance at the end which I should have scored. We are disappointed but we have to see what we did well, keep working hard and now focus on the next game (against Arsenal).
"We started very well, scoring the first goal but we conceded too quickly. We fought ourselves back into the game, showing great spirit and passion to play football.
"It felt really good to score. How I trained in the week (leading up to the game) seemed to show on the pitch and I'm pleased to score my first goal of the season. I will keep working hard and make sure I continue to help the team in the upcoming games."
