Alan Shearer has hailed Newcastle United playmaker Bruno Guimaraes as 'Different class' after his brace against Brentford. The Brazilian was a standout performer as Eddie Howe's side consolidated their European berth with a controlled display against Thomas Frank's side.
Guimaraes' goal gave the Magpies the lead - after Brentford saw a goal ruled out for offside - capping off a brilliant set piece straight from the training ground. Jacob Murphy added a second for Howe's side moments later, Callum Wilson capitalised on a loose ball outfield and unselfishly squared for the winger to finish into an empty net.
Ivan Toney's second-half penalty reduced the deficit but only for a matter of seconds as Guimaraes doubled his tally for the afternoon. The Brazilian controlled the game from the outset and was fully deserving of any praise.
