Bruno Guimaraes has recalled the moment he knew he was right to have joined Newcastle United.

The Brazilian playmaker has starred since moving to the north-east just over a year ago.

He outlined two goals in last season's clash with Leicester was a "goosebumps" moment, telling the Players' Tribune: "We played Leicester City at home and, for me, this was probably when I fell in love with Newcastle.

"I scored the two goals in the match, and they could not have been more different.

"The first one was a goal from the streets of Rio. The keeper bobbled the ball when he fell on it and I didn't hear the whistle, so I just kept kicking and kicking until it popped out of his hands and rolled across the line.

"And then the second goal, in the 95th minute.... all I can tell you is that, when the Newcastle fans are really on fire like they were that day, you simply don't get tired. I don't know the science behind it, but you can just keep running forever.

"I heard the roar from the fans and it was goosebumps. I ripped my shirt off, and that's when I knew that I was really in the Premier League.

"It was an atmosphere I'd never seen before, even in Brazil. I remember I collapsed on the pitch at the whistle and I was just praying to God, thanking him for bringing me here."
