Bruno Guimaraes breaks long-standing Newcastle United record with dramatic header

Bruno Guimaraes broke a long-standing record for Newcastle United when he scored the wining goal against Leicester on Sunday after five minutes of injury time.

The Brazilian midfielder – about whom it had been said is not a goalscorer before he signed in January – picked up a brace against Leicester City. His two goals helped Newcastle United overcome a one-goal deficit and ultimately win the match at St James’ Park.
