The last minute winner scored by Bruno Guimarães in Newcastle United’s meeting with Leicester City on Sunday saw the Brazilian engraved firmly in the club’s history books.
Of course, Eddie Howe’s men were back in action a short time ago.
Returning to winning ways thanks to Wolverhampton’s 1-0 defeat last time out, the Magpies, this time around, welcomed the aforementioned Leicesters to St James’ Park with the hope of two wins on the rebound.
And when all was said and done, that is exactly what they were able to achieve.
It was the Leicester visitors who opened the scoring within twenty minutes, when a set-piece routine on the training ground culminated in Ademola Lookman hitting the net from close range.
Some magic! 🔥

Despite this, Newcastle settled matters by half an hour on the clock when Bruno Guimaraes came home the second time out of the question, before January’s arrival in Tyneside, sparking jubilant celebrations across St James thanks to what proved to be the whole winner. Five minutes of injury time:

And as noted above, such endeavors on the part of “Bruno G” have since resulted in quite a statistic.
According to trusted Opta, Guimaraes scored, at 94 minutes 10 seconds, Newcastle’s last winning goal in a Premier League match since those records were first counted in 2006.
