Newcastle hammer Brentford 5-1 at St James' Park to move into the top six of the Premier League
Newcastle hammered Brentford 5-1 at St James' Park to move into the top six of the Premier League after a star performance from Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. Bryan Mbeumo thought he'd opened the scoring after 10 minutes for Brentford, beating the advancing Newcastle backline before firing through a limp Nick Pope save, but VAR intervened to overrule the goal for offside. Ad Newcastle, buoyed by the cancellation of Brentford's opener, took the lead when Bruno Guimaraes got on the end of a creative corner routine.
