Newcastle fans have been expressing their love for Bruno Guimaraes this afternoon after the Brazilian scored two against Leicester City – including a spectacular last-minute winner.
Newcastle United went behind at St James' park after a goal from Ademola Lookman. Ayoze Pérez helped get it to the Leicester man, and the former Newcastle player was booed as he was substituted in the second half.
The Magpies got one back after 30 minutes however when a corner came in and Bruno got a touch on it, Kasper Schmeichel tried to gather, but Bruno gave it another nudge with his foot. The referee had a look on the video to see if it was a foul, but decided it was a fair goal.

It then looked like the match was going to end with a reasonable 1-1 draw, before Joe Willock set off down the wing in injury time and got the ball into the box. Bruno then popped up again with a flying header and buried it in the net.
The focus of fans, quite rightly, was very much on Bruno, with many of them expressing their love. A lot of it was x-rated, but here are some of the publishable comments.
@m_dot389 tweeted simply: "BEST BRAZILIAN IN THE WORLD."
@Kesler_Dee wrote: "What a signing."
@OwenNUFC1 agreed, adding: "YESSSSSSS BEST SIGNING THIS WINDOW BY FAR."
@bayuasmor made a comment repeated by many this afternoon: "Best Bruno in Premier League!"
@milessteven001 wrote: "What a win! A team fighting at the bottom end of the league beating a team battling for European honours is an outstanding result, especially when it comes in such dramatic circumstances. Bruno is a hero!"
@Lauren_DBF tweeted: "Bruno the Magician!! Scrappy game, and nowhere near our best - but the lads never gave up! GET IN!! BLOODY LOVELY."
@DL5872 had a thought for the future: "When are we building the Bruno and J7 statue."
@nicola_cookson said what many were thinking: "Looking forward to seeing the dressing room pic."
Newcastle's next match is at home to Crystal Palace on Wednesday.
