Bruno Guimarães punishes Fulham to keep Newcastle’s European hopes alive

It’s sometimes best to savor the underhanded victories. The majority of Fulham’s running,

chances, and finest play came from its players. As for Newcastle,

they were playing in survival mode to start, looked like they were about to lose it after thirty minutes,

and Joe Willock was the most recent player to hobble out with an injury.

At one point, Fabian Schär was seen yelling at his teammates to be more careful

when in possession after stretching to head another tease from Fulham away.

Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall were scowling and trying to figure out how to get

their side back on track over on the touchline. It was significant that

Howe leaped at the chance to offer his players a tactical debriefing

and maybe some stern words about their mindset following

Newcastle’s goalkeeper Martin Dubravka’s injury following 21 minutes of complete control by Fulham.

Later, Fulham manager Marco Silva would make a pointed comment about

how often Dubravka stopped play by going to the ground. Howe, meanwhile,

swatted away any suspicions of gamesmanship. Instead,

he chose to concentrate on Newcastle’s defensive fortitude and offensive prowess

when Bruno Guimarães punished Fulham for their careless finishing with

nine minutes remaining by taking advantage of an error from

Antonee Robinson and smashing in the game’s lone goal.

The manager of Newcastle commented, “We were second best.

” However, we were able to continue playing. Although we were exhausted,

that was an amazing response. A shift in perspective was what caused the transformation.

It ranks among the season’s greatest victories.

It might be really important. Much discussion has centered on Newcastle’s financial situation,

with some speculating that they may be forced to sell Guimarães

this summer due to Premier League profit and sustainability criteria.

A lot hinges on the upcoming weeks. If Newcastle,

one point behind sixth-place Manchester United, were to reclaim their European berth,

Howe would undoubtedly have more money to spend on acquisitions and

a greater opportunity to construct his team around the Brazil midfield player.
