MATT BARLOW: Miguel Almiron's transformation is among one of the miracles Eddie Howe has performed
Daily MailThe transformation of Joelinton has quite rightly taken top billing but Miguel Almiron cannot far behind in the list of minor footballing miracles as performed by Eddie Howe. Almiron found himself branded a figure of the fun at the end of last season, when Jack Grealish took time out of Manchester City's title celebrations to claim Riyad Mahrez had been playing like Newcastle's Paraguayan forward. Miguel Almiron continued fine form with another goal in Newcastle's win at Tottenham No-one is laughing now. Jack Grealish took time out of Manchester City's title celebrations to take a jibe at Almiron Clement Lenglet froze as Almiron shimmied towards him and glided past the French centre-half on the outside before producing a cool finish, slid under the body of Hugo Lloris from an angle as the goalkeeper dashed from his line. After Joelinton's transformation, Almiron's revival is among some of Eddie Howe's fine work Central to Joelinton's reinvention is his determination and willingness to undertake orders, play where he is required.
