Guimaraes’ Last-Minute Header Clinches Newcastle’s Victory Over Leicester

Bruno Guimaraes scored a dramatic injury-time goal to secure all three points for Newcastle.

In a thrilling finish at St James’ Park, Bruno Guimaraes scored a last-gasp header to give Newcastle a 2-1 victory over Leicester. The match was tied at 1-1 going into injury time, with Guimaraes having previously equalized for Newcastle in the 30th minute after Ademola Lookman had put Leicester ahead in the 19th. Guimaraes’ second goal, which came in the 90+5th minute, handed Newcastle a dramatic win, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers expressed disappointment in the way his team lost control at the end of the game. Despite dominating possession and playing well throughout, including a strong physical performance after their Thursday match, Leicester’s attempt to go long late in the game backfired, allowing Newcastle to capitalize on a counterattack and snatch the win.
