Alan Shearer and Bruno Guimaraes showed their mutual respect on Twitter today in an exchange that shows how far the club has come in a short time.
Guimaraes was the man of the moment this afternoon, leading Newcastle United as they overcame a 1-0 deficit to Leicester City at St James’ Park. The Brazilian midfielder got the better of Kasper Schmeichel for the first goal, knocking it from between the goalkeeper’s legs.
It was Guimaraes’s second goal that really blew the roof of the stadium however, coming after five minutes of injury time thanks to a Joe Willock break down the wing. Willock managed to get the cross in and the Brazilian finished in style, heading the ball as he charged into the box.
