Newcastle United battled hard to secure their third win of the 2025/26 Premier League season, defeating Fulham 2–1 at St James’ Park thanks to a dramatic late goal from their midfield talisman Bruno Guimarães.

With the game finely poised at 1–1 heading into the closing minutes, a costly mistake from Fulham in midfield sparked a lightning-fast counterattack. William Osula drove forward toward the penalty area and unleashed a low strike that was parried by the goalkeeper — but Guimarães reacted quickest, slotting home the rebound to send the home crowd into raptures.
