With all the handbags being thrown about the St James' Park turf at full-time, you'll be forgiven for missing some of the carnage that unfolded after the final whistle in Newcastle United's 1-0 win over Chelsea. A frenetic end to the Premier League tie saw tensions boil over before the players eventually made the way back to the dressing room.
Newcastle defender Dan Burn clashed with old foe Kai Havertz, substitute Jacob Murphy went flying into scuffles with multiple Blues players and there was a host of stars and coaches trying to break things up and calm things down.
But in typical Joelinton style, the Brazilian was happy to confront anyone and everyone who felt brave enough to take him on. The midfielder, who has already picked a fight with many an opponent in the middle of the park this season, was offering it up to a host of Chelsea coaches after the whistle, and had to be calmed down by members of the Magpies coaching staff.

In footage captured and shared on social media, Joelinton can be seen initially trying to separate Havertz and Burn, before he gives an impromptu shove to Hakim Ziyech who is also involved in the melee. The 24-year-old then looks to be heading towards the tunnel when he is stopped by Cesar Azpilicueta, who has taken issue with something he has done during the full-time scenes.
Joelinton and the Chelsea captain have to be separated by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and Blues coach Bjorn Hamberg, who also begins pointing and shouting in the face of the Newcastle man. Joelinton can then be seen squaring up to the Swede before he is again ushered away by team-mates.
However, that isn't the end for the Newcastle fan-favourite, who then encounters Chelsea coach Bruno and gets dragged into another war of words with the former Brighton full-back. Seemingly, that was when Joelinton decided enough was enough as he turned to the Leazes End and began celebrating.
The midfielder, Sven Botman, Nick Pope and a host of other stars turned towards the stands, away from the scuffles, and began fist-pumping and roaring to the crowd. The supporters responded in turn with a huge cheer of their own, as Joelinton continued to try and whip up the noise by waving his arms to the audience.
Speaking after the game, Eddie Howe said: "I was really pleased actually with how we managed the latter stages of the game," he told reporters. "I know it wasn't pure football. It was two teams desperately trying to have opposite aims: we wanted to try and kill the game and see the match out; they wanted the ball back in play.
"But I thought we did stand up for each other in a really respectful and strong way. That's what we need to do on the pitch. I've got no issue with that. I thought our players handled themselves really well. That's Premier League football. It's everything to these players and that showed."
