A new player in the English Premier League, Joelinton, the Brazilian star of Newcastle United, has fallen victim to a recent burglary.

The incident occurred while Joelinton and his family were at St James' Park watching the Magpies play against Manchester City in the Premier League, a match that ended in a 2-3 victory for the latter.

Joelinton received a notification on his phone as intruders broke into his home, prompting him to alert the police that three individuals had burglarized his empty house during the match.

Immediately responding to the report, the police dispatched a helicopter to the scene, but the intruders fled before its arrival.

This incident follows a similar one involving Jack Grealish, a star player for Manchester City, during the Christmas period.

Grealish's family home was burglarized while he was participating in a match against Everton, and the thieves managed to steal jewelry worth one million pounds sterling while the player was away.
