"Newcastle went into the game on the back of a superb 3-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League, and took the lead in the 18th minute through Jacob Murphy, only for Sasa Lukic to level for Fulham 11 minutes into the second half. But Newcastle finished very strongly and, after peppering the Fulham goal, the Magpies secured only their third win of the Premier League season when Guimaraes turned home on the rebound after Bernd Leno had kept out Will Osula's initial effort."
""I feel unbelievable," Guimaraes told BBC Final Score. "We were very tired from Wednesday's game and I think we had to learn how to finish the game. "I'm happy in the end we scored a goal. The last few games we have been punished at the end - by Arsenal, Liverpool. "Will Osula, he came, he shot and I was ready for the rebound in my 150th start for this club. Now I just want to rest for a bit because I am very tired."
Bruno Guimaraes finished a tight contest with a 90th-minute rebound to give Newcastle a 2-1 victory over Fulham in his 150th start. Jacob Murphy opened the scoring after dispossessing Calvin Bassey and finishing off a run, and Sasa Lukic equalised early in the second half. Newcastle pressed late, producing several chances before Will Osula's shot was saved by Bernd Leno and Guimaraes converted the follow-up. The win ended recent late-game setbacks and followed a midweek Champions League win, with Guimaraes celebrating the moment with family at the Gallowgate End.
