Bruno Guimaraes admits he has been left a 'litte frustrated' after Newcastle United were held to a goalless draw at Crystal Palace. However, the Magpies talisman has thanked the club's medical staff after he shrugged off an ankle injury to keep his starting spot.
Guimaraes was expected to miss out on the televised contest at Selhurst Park on Saturday night, having been withdrawn at half-time of the home victory over Fulham the previous weekend. However, Eddie Howe was able to name an unchanged starting eleven and the visitors extended their top-flight unbeaten run to 15 matches.
Newcastle dominated the opening half, but proved unable for the third time this season to find a way through Palace's defence. Nick Pope was also required to pull off a stunning late stop to deny a fine strike from Jean-Phillipe Mateta.
