Newcastle United issue official Bruno Guimaraes injury update after the Brazilian was forced off during the 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur.
It has been a difficult few days for Eddie Howe and his players after they were booed following the 3-2 defeat at home to Brentford on Saturday night.
But the mood can change quickly, and their victory in North London has certainly done that.
Howe’s side dominated the first half and finally got their breakthrough in stoppage time when Malick Thiaw scored.
Spurs equalised in the 64th minute through Archie Gray but the Magpies re-took the lead four minutes later as Jacob Ramsey netted his first goal for the club.
Eddie Howe reflects on Newcastle United’s 2-1 win v Tottenham Hotspur
Reflecting on the win, Howe said: “Yeah, great response from the players. I have to pay tribute to them tonight. I think they really did inspire each other and help each other. I thought it was one of our best performances of the season.
“Dominant display, showed our quality. We had players going down with cramp at the end and showing signs that we had maxed out on the pitch. That's all I ever ask.
“I'm very grateful to have the group of players that I have. I think they're terrific professionals and a great day for us.
Newcastle United issue official Bruno Guimaraes injury update
Newcastle recorded only their third Premier League away win of the campaign to move back into the top half of the table, closing the gap on the top five to eight points.

Asked for an update on Guimaraes, Howe replied: “I'm not sure. He's a little bit worried. He said he’s not sure he's never had a problem with his hamstrings before, so is it cramp? was it a muscle problem?
“It probably feels more of an injury to me but let's wait and see. We'll try and stay positive at this moment.”
