Bruno Guimaraes has delivered a firm message following Newcastle United’s agonising defeat to Liverpool on Monday night.
Newcastle lost 3-2 to Liverpool, having initially come from two goals down to level the game up with 10 men after Anthony Gordon’s red card.
However, there was a late twist at St James’ Park. 16-year-old Rio Ngumoha scored in the 100th minute to put Liverpool back in front, breaking Toon hearts in the process.
It was a gruelling evening on Tyneside, but one that Eddie Howe’s players can look back on with immense pride. It was an excellent performance from Newcastle United, and one that deserved so much more.
That is certainly the view of Bruno Guimaraes.
