Leon Osman has hailed Bruno Guimaraes’ impact at Newcastle United following his last-gasp winner against Leicester. In front of a sold-out St James’ Park crowd, the Brazilian netted a brace that inspired the Magpies to a dramatic comeback victory.
Guimaraes ran the length of the pitch in the final minute of stoppage time before converting Joe Willock’s cross - and causing all hell to break loose on the terraces. Yesterday’s match-winning display was only the second home game the 24-year-old has started in Newcastle colours but he is already a firm fan favourite on Tyneside.
Former Everton midfielder Osman believes signing Guimaraes was an astute move by the Magpies, citing his attitude as well as his ability.
