Bruno Guimaraes silences Arsenal and vindicates brutal explanation for transfer snub

Bruno Guimaraes has come back to haunt Arsenal in the most brutal fashion just months after the Gunners opted against signing him in the January transfer window.

The Brazilian was in fine form against Mikel Arteta's side and played as if he had something to prove. The former Lyon midfielder scored the decisive goal to all but end Arsenal's hopes of finishing in the top four. Guimaraes pounded on a loose ball to finish beyond a helpless Aaron Ramsdale.

Eyebrows were raised when the 24-year-old joined the Magpies given the calibre of other clubs interested, but he explained: "They didn’t disguise that the main objective and challenge was remaining in the Premier League this season. But in the seasons coming, the objective is to be in the Champions League and eventually to win the Champions League. I believe in the project, I believe in everything they spoke to me about."
