Bruno Guimaraes says he wants to become a Newcastle United legend.
The 24-year-old Brazil international has already established himself as a cult hero with the Toon Army with only 11 appearances for the club under his belt, the most recent of which saw him head home a winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time to beat Leicester 2-1 on Sunday.
Guimaraes, who had earlier cancelled out Ademola Lookman's first-half strike, said: “It was incredible for me and the team.
“We deserved it, so it was incredible to score like that. They were my first goals here. I don't have the words, really. It was just really special.
“I just want to be a legend here."
Leicester dominated much of the game, particularly after the break, but could not convert pressure into goals, and they were ultimately undone when substitute Joe Willock broke down the left deep into added time and saw his defected cross sit up perfectly for Guimaraes to head the ball into the net and lift the roof off St James' Park.
He said: “It was just crazy. I don't remember it so well, but I just know Joe Willock made a good play.
“When I get to my house, I will look back again and watch it over again. I really need another view."
