"Newcastle United were rapidly running out of time. With 90 minutes on the clock, the hosts were heading for an underwhelming 1-1 draw against Fulham at St James' Park. But captain Bruno Guimaraes still believed. The Brazilian's mentality and fitness were such that he was busting a gut to get into the box to try to affect the outcome."
"That gamble paid off when visiting keeper Bernd Leno could only parry substitute William Osula's shot into the midfielder's path and Guimaraes lashed the ball into the net in front of the Gallowgate End to send the stadium into raptures. "We cannot play the perfect game every time but we need to find the three points and we did this," he said. "This is the Newcastle I know - we fight until the end.""
Newcastle secured a dramatic 2-1 Premier League victory over Fulham at St James' Park after Bruno Guimaraes scored a late winner following a parried shot from substitute William Osula. Jacob Murphy opened the scoring with his first goal of the campaign, and Sasa Lukic levelled for Fulham. Newcastle managed the result despite missing consistent scorer Nick Woltemade and after initially failing to extend their lead. Eddie Howe introduced a trio of substitutes including Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes and Fabian Schar, and the side relied on determination, fitness and decisive late-game play to claim three points.
