“They both dovetail that position really well”- Eddie Howe names the two Newcastle stars who play ‘really well’ together
Eddie Howe praised two standout players from Newcastle United after their 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup.
With this impressive win, Newcastle advanced to the quarter-finals, rebounding from their recent Premier League loss to Chelsea. The performance at St James’ Park indicated a return to form for Howe’s side, and his tactical changes paid off.
Sandro Tonali shone in a deeper midfield role, while Lloyd Kelly delivered a solid performance in central defense. However, Howe was particularly eager to commend the contributions of Joelinton and Joe Willock.

He remarked, “I’m not sure what the final solution for that is, but we have very good players competing for positions.”
