Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes scores back-heeled stunner vs Southampton

Bruno Guimaraes made his first Premier League start for Newcastle United on Thursday evening.

The £40 million January arrival was given a chance by Eddie Howe away at Southampton due to Joelinton being absent through injury and he certainly rewarded the manager’s faith.

In the second half of proceedings on the south coast, the former Lyon midfielder put Newcastle 2-1 up with his first ever goal for the Magpies.

And to say it was a moment of magic would be something of an understatement.

Guimaraes somehow managed to volley the ball into the back of the net with a back-heel from a knockdown by fellow January signing Dan Burn at the back post.

As first goals for a Premier League club go, this is right up there with the greatest ever…
