"Moments after Aaron Ramsdale tipped Bobby Pointer's curler wide of the post, Joelinton gave Newcastle a 17th-minute lead. Anthony Gordon's shot was blocked in the middle of the box, but the Brazilian quickly adjusted his feet to drill a low shot into the bottom-right corner. And Osula got their second less than two minutes later, racing between Bradford's centre-backs to reach Bruno Guimaraes' throughball and pick out the opposite corner to Joelinton."
"Data Debrief: Newcastle find their scoring touch Having already played out three goalless draws in the Premier League this season, Eddie Howe's main focus was on getting his side firing. And they did just that. Newcastle finished the game with 4.38 expected goals (xG) to Bradford's 0.35, with the Magpies having 27 shots, 11 of which were on target. Joelinton, meanwhile, scored two goals in a single game for the first time since September 2020 against Morecambe."

Joelinton opened the scoring in the 17th minute after Anthony Gordon's shot was blocked, drilling a low finish into the bottom-right corner. William Osula added a second two minutes later by racing between centre-backs to meet Bruno Guimaraes' throughball. Sam Walker produced several saves and Guimaraes struck the frame after half-time. Joelinton converted a low Guimaraes cross for a third, Andy Cook scored for Bradford, and Osula completed his brace from Harvey Barnes' low cross. Newcastle recorded 4.38 xG, 27 shots and 11 on target.
