Newcastle United takes the lead against Burnley with a dream goal. Bruno Guimaraes makes club history with his goal.
Bruno Guimaraes put Newcastle United ahead 1-0 against FC Burnley in the Premier League with a stunning goal.
It happened in the 31st minute: Guimaraes scored directly from a corner kick from the left side into the upper right corner. Burnley keeper Martin Dúbravka was crucially interfered with and had to watch as the perfectly placed ball crashed into the goal corner above him.

Newcastle: Guimaraes Makes Club History
Accordingly, Nick Woltemade’s teammate was celebrated in the English press for his artful shot. “How on earth did Bruno Guimaraes do that? The Brazilian takes a corner that flies over everyone and ends up in the net. A great performance by the Newcastle captain, and his team takes the lead,” wrote the BBC .
Guimaraes had already scored to make it 1-0 in the 2:2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday following an assist from Woltemade. There, Guimaraes had been substituted on at half-time. The Brazilian returned to the starting line-up on Saturday, which promptly paid off.
With his goal, Guimaraes also made club history. It was the 20th goal scored directly from a corner in the Premier League, and the first ever scored by a Newcastle player.
