Newcastle United secured their third win of the season, which propelled them to 15th place in the table, with 9 points from 8 matches. Manager Eddie Howe will be eager for more, given the team's impressive fifth-place finish last season and League Cup victory.
The Magpies were looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2-1 loss to Brighton last weekend. However, they gained momentum from their 3-0 Champions League victory over Benfica midweek. Today's win was a welcome boost for the team.
Newcastle United got their Premier League campaign back on track with a thrilling 2-1 win over Fulham. Manager Eddie Howe's ambition to reignite the team's league push was evident in their purposeful start, with Jacob Murphy scoring the opening goal in the 18th minute.
Fulham equalized through Sasa Lukic in the 56th minute, and with no further goals in regular time, the match seemed headed for a draw. However, Bruno Guimaraes had other plans, scoring a dramatic late winner that sealed the victory for the Magpies.
The winning goal was sparked by substitute William Osula, who drove into the box and had his shot parried by Bernd Leno. The rebound fell to Bruno Guimaraes, who poked the ball home from close range.
“It’s one I’ll remember, that’s for sure,” Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said. “You always remember when you win late, and it was a priceless win for us… a big three points.”
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe had recently praised Bruno Guimaraes' durability, highlighting that the midfielder "very rarely lets you down” despite a demanding schedule with club and country. Guimaraes proved his reliability once again with a match-winning goal in the 90th minute against Fulham.
“I feel unbelievable. We were very tired from Wednesday's game and I think we had to learn how to finish the game,” Guimaraes said.
“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.
“We cannot play the perfect game every time but we need to find the three points and we did this today. Very pleased for everyone. This is the Newcastle I know, we fight until the end.”
