Bruno Guimaraes says that the stalemate against Leeds United should not deflect anything away from Newcastle United's "amazing year".
The £40million man from Lyon has been outstanding this term and has won the Daily Mirror's footballer of the year award. But he could not do anything to prevent the club ending their winning run against Leeds.
Bruno said after the game: "It is difficult. We would like to win this game at home.

""We needed to take the three points. The weather was difficult, the pitch, Leeds played well.
"But we need to keep positive, we played well. Another clean sheet but even with these things we are disappointed.
"We found problems to find the space to play well. Keep the ball well. We were a little bit anxious at times."
And after arriving from Ligue 1 just over 12 months ago, Bruno as looked back on a great period of his career - a period he calls his best.
Speaking to Premier League Productions he said: "For me, it has been an amazing year. When I came here we were fighting against relegation and now we are fighting for the title, the Champions League, things like that. The club has changed. We still took a point. What a year. I think it was my best year.
"Arsenal [on Tuesday] will be an amazing game, we know they are doing very very well. They are surprising me. It will be a difficult game."
