It was his first start in front of 50,000 of the faithful and appropriately Bruno Guimaraes gave us a glimpse of what the future might hold for a new vibrant Newcastle United.
Maybe another January signing Chris Wood scored the winner against the pussy cats of Wolves, maybe a defence mauled at Spurs kept a clean sheet, but it was United's newest Brazilian who showed us what might be and gave the Mags the platform to confirm Premier League safety regardless of doing any sums.
Bruno is the bonniest of lads. And to think he had mainly been a bit player until now. Wait until he is released on a regular basis! Because of circumstances beyond his control a Rolls Royce player signed in January was making his full home debut with a week of April gone. He has been held up initially by the form of three other midfielders and then by travelling to the other side of the world but surely from this day in he will be the first name on Eddie Howe's teamsheet.
