captain bruno guimares get newcastle Out of jail with extension of 90th minute winner fulhamThere are four consecutive losses in the Premier League.
The Brazil international, who had earlier missed a great chance, went past the goalkeeper bernd leno Substitute Will Osula had his shot saved to snatch a 2–1 victory for the Magpies, when he once again missed in front of a crowd of 52,125.
jacob murphy Eddie Howe’s men had the lead in the first half, but were unable to hold on to it and were made to pay 11 minutes after the restart when Sasa Lukic equalized to set up a tense conclusion, during which Guimaraes took the final decision.
Anthony Gordon picks up where he left off in Tuesday’s 3-0 Champions League win Over at Benfica, full-back Kenny Tate was implicated in an ill-advised third-minute challenge, which earned him a booking and a free-kick, from which Nick Voldemort fired against Bernd Leno’s right post after Malik Thiaw’s header was blocked.
Murphy fired straight to the keeper’s left from a tight angle three minutes later, leaving the visitors dangerously close to the early attack.
However, Raul Jimenez deflected a shot wide in the 13th minute after Alex Iwobi turned in a cross from Ryan Sessegnon to turn Dan Byrne into the box as the visitors began to make an impact.
Fulham were encouraged by the change in the flow of the game, while the Magpies were less assured at the back, but their momentum was interrupted after 18 minutes when Murphy picked out Kelvin Bassey inside his own half before heading the ball past Leno and wide of the far post.
However, Newcastle keeper Nick Pope was relieved to see Adama Traore cross the goal after Sander Berge’s long-range effort was parried and the hosts were taking unnecessary risks inside their own half, making them look vulnerable.
It could have been 2–0 six minutes before the break when Gordon played a great first ball to Murphy to make a vital block for Leno, but Pope had to save from Emile Smith Rowe when Berge picked up Sven Botman’s loose pass from the defence.
The visitors were level in the 56th minute when Iwobi picked out half-time substitute Kevin, whose introduction added new vigor to his team’s efforts from the left and his cross sent Raul Jimenez’s shot crashing against the crossbar, before Lukic headed the rebound past the stranded Pope, hitting Botman’s head in the process.
Howe quickly replaced Botman, Lewis Miley and Murphy with Fabian Schar, Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes and his team should have been in front within seven minutes when Gordon exchanged passes with Voltemed before crossing to Guimaraes, who missed the target with a free header.
Guimaraes dragged a shot wide and Sessegnon blocked substitute Anthony Elanga’s strike, before Leno saved Tonali’s follow-up, and after Joelinton headed into the side-netting, the Fulham keeper made a good save to keep out Tonali’s goal-bound effort.
However, they were eventually beaten for the second time at the death when Osula headed forward after Sessegnon had lost the ball and although Leno continued his effort, Guimaraes pounced.
