Newcastle once again took an important step to achieve the long-awaited qualification for the next UEFA Champions League. The team led by Eddie Howe won 4-1 against Brighton at home, allowing them to continue in third place in the Premier League standings.
As was customary this season, Bruno Guimarães once again had an outstanding performance to help his team achieve the three points. He scored the last goal of the match. After the game, the English press made an evaluation of his performance, and did not skimp on praise for the Brazilian.

The press praises Guimarães
British outlet ChronicleLive rated Guimarães’ performance a 9, the team’s highest score (shared with Kieran Trippier and Miguel Almirón): “A brilliant performance as he sped up the game in midfield. Lots of interceptions, tackles, and even a goal.”
Guimarães won 10 of the 13 aerial duels he played, intercepted four balls, registered five tackles, won five fouls and even had the luxury of sealing the final 4-1 at minute 91. With this result, Newcastle has the Champions League ticket in their hands.
