Newcastle United's rise from the Premier League relegation zone to the top half has been "an incredible turnaround", says Magpies legend Alan Shearer.
Joelinton's brace and Bruno Guimaraes's strike in a 3-0 win at Norwich on Saturday moved Newcastle up to ninth.
The club were 19th when Eddie Howe took over as manager in November, five points from safety.
"Eddie Howe deserves great credit," Shearer told BBC Radio 5 Live. "He made changes again to the team that got a good result in the week [against Crystal Palace] so the players that came in responded.
"The signings, the confidence, the belief that Eddie has given Newcastle has been outstanding when you consider they were five points adrift in 19th when he took over. It's been an incredible turnaround."
