Bruno Guimarães scored a dramatic 90th-minute winner to secure a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Newcastle over Fulham at St James' Park. Eddie Howe's side seemed destined for a frustrating afternoon in the Premier League after Sasa Lukic cancelled out Jacob Murphy's first-half opener. Tension was mounting on Tyneside, especially after Bruno missed a chance from eight yards out, but the captain redeemed himself by delivering a crushing blow to Fulham's hopes, condemning Marco Silva's team to their fourth consecutive league defeat.
Following their convincing 3-0 Champions League win over Benfica, Newcastle started the match with confidence. Nick Woltemade missed an early opportunity, hitting the post in the fourth minute. Although Fulham appeared to stabilize, Murphy managed to outmuscle Calvin Bassey and opened the scoring with a precise strike.
Fulham continued to pose a threat, but Newcastle had the better chances to extend their lead. Goalkeeper Bernd Leno made crucial saves to keep his team in the game. However, Fulham equalized in the 56th minute through Lukic, who showed courage and precision.
In the closing minutes, Newcastle intensified their pressure. Despite several missed opportunities, Bruno Guimarães found the target in stoppage time, delivering an important victory for his team.
Analysis: Newcastle demonstrated character and a will to win, which should boost their confidence in upcoming league matches. Fulham's struggles persist, and they will need to find a way to break their losing streak.
