Joelinton was delighted with his role in Newcastle's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
The Brazilian popped in a new position and was outstanding on Monday night.
He later said: "It's a new position for me. I try to give everything for the team. Unlucky with the result but we can be proud of the game and we just keep playing. It was a hard game but we take the positives.
"I understand what the manager is asking from me on the pitch.
"Some days things don't happen but today I tried to work and I hope to continue this and do good work and hope we can win the game and improve this situation."
