Newcastle United evening headlines: Bruno's homework and Joelinton's 'nice feeling'

A round-up of the latest Newcastle United evening headlines on Sunday, April 24.

When Newcastle United signed Guimarães for a whopping £40m from Lyon in January, they thought they were signing a ball playing midfielder with a real touch of class. And while Guimarães has displayed just that since his arrival from the south of France, it’s perhaps his eye for goal in recent weeks that has really got fans talking.

The Brazilian international scored his fourth goal for the Magpies on Saturday with an sublime finish past Norwich City keeper Tim Krul, helping his side to a rampant 3-0 win. The midfielder pounced on a lazy pass out from the back by the Canaries shot-stopper, leaving Guimarães baring down upon goal seconds later, lofting a deft chip over Krul much to the delight of the noisy travelling away contingent.

And a post-match twitter exchange with legendary Newcastle striker Alan Shearer might just have revealed why the 24-year-old is all of sudden amongst the goals for the Toon Army.

Following his stellar strike, Shearer tweeted “Oh my word Brunnnoooo”.

And within hours, Bruno responded to the Geordie icons tweet with “I watched your dvd boss”.

Guimarães might not match Shearer’s scoring record during his time in Black & White, but he’s certainly gotten his career on Tyneside off to a flying start.

It can’t be understated just how much Joelinton has turned around his career on Tyneside.

Moved back up front following his revolutionary switch to centre midfield in recent months, the Brazilian bagged himself a superb brace against Norwich, helping the Magpies reach the lofty heights of ninth in the Premier League.

So impressive was the £40million man’s performance,
