Jamie Carragher believes Bruno Guimaraes was the 'best player by a mile' during Newcastle United's victory over Wolves and has predicted there is 'more to come'. The Brazil international was handed his first start at St James' Park as Eddie Howe's side moved 10 points clear of the relegation zone on Friday night.
Chris Wood scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot to seal a tight contest. However, it was Guimaraes' display that was subject to post-match praise as the January signing was named the man of the match.
Carragher believes it was 'difficult' for the midfielder to break into the starting eleven, but explained why the former Lyon star was a signing for the future rather than the immediate relegation battle. The Liverpool legend told Sky Sports: "He was the best player by a mile, he was rightly given man of the match. It has been difficult for him to try and get into the team, there's been that pressure and the team started playing well.
