Joelinton scores as Newcastle United sink Southampton

The first-half goal from Joelinton proved decisive as Newcastle United clinched a 1-0 victory at home against Southampton in the Premier League.

Newcastle faced adversity when Fabian Schär was sent off in the 28th minute for an altercation with Ben Brereton Diaz. Eddie Howe commented, "I don't think we want to see two players aggressively coming together. I think the contact is minimal, and it's a harsh red card, but it's something we'll learn from."

Despite being down to ten men, Newcastle managed to seize the lead just before halftime. Joelinton's goal, assisted by Alexander Isak, gave the Magpies the advantage they needed.

Looking ahead, Newcastle United will face AFC Bournemouth on 25 August, Tottenham Hotspur on 1 September, and Wolverhampton Wanderers away on 15 September. Meanwhile, Southampton's upcoming fixtures include Nottingham Forest on 24 August, Brentford on 31 August, and a home clash against Manchester United on 14 September.
