Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes had double cause for celebration following the Magpies’ 3-1 victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday evening.
Primarily, the win represented a significant triumph, as no other team had managed to secure a victory at Villa Park in the Premier League this season. Despite this formidable challenge, Newcastle emerged victorious, delivering a commendable performance that could potentially mark a turning point for Eddie Howe’s squad.
Guimaraes contributed to the team’s success, albeit in a more subdued manner than usual in the midfield. Nonetheless, his presence proved effective in facilitating the win.
The Brazilian international exhibited notable discipline throughout the match, particularly mindful of the consequences of receiving another booking, which would incur a two-game suspension—a detrimental blow considering Newcastle’s current shortage of midfielders.
Guimaraes demonstrated astute ball retention and showcased his skill with some impressive long passes, reminiscent of prime Jonjo Shelvey, nearly resulting in additional goals for the Magpies.
Overall, the 26-year-old delivered a commendable performance at Villa Park, duly rewarded for his contributions.

Bruno began speaking to someone adjacent to the dugout as the Newcastle players exited the pitch. He then offered the spectator his shirt in return for two boxes of Kinder Bueno chocolate.
Bruno could barely contain his excitement as he walked down the tunnel, yelling ‘yes’ and held up his Italian confectionery.
During the exchange, Peter Crouch told TNT Sports, “I believe he was duped there. Went in for the chocolates, and they immediately asked him for the shirt.”

However, this was not a random gift. It follows Bruno’s love of Kinder chocolate, which was revealed in the club’s Amazon Prime documentary released last year.
And if strong results lead to more chocolate, Bruno could be about to have the best run of his career! Just don’t ask questions if he suddenly appears sluggish while running.
