Newcastle pair Guimaraes, Tonali insist victory over Athletic well deserved

Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali are confident that their win against Athletic Bilbao was well-earned.

Match Overview

In their Champions League clash, Newcastle secured a 2-0 victory, highlighted by a remarkable header from Dan Burn and a goal from Joelinton.

Player Reactions

Bruno Guimaraes expressed his thoughts on the match, stating:

We scored at crucial moments. Dan Burn’s header was astonishing. When I first saw it, I thought he was trying to set up a teammate! But we had to maintain our momentum afterwards.

Sandro Tonali shared his perspective, remarking:

This victory was well-deserved. It has been a challenging week following our game against West Ham. These three points are crucial for Newcastle. We now stand with nine points and are in a strong position in the league. We played not only for this match but also for our previous performances.

Highlighting Burn’s Contribution

Regarding Burn’s goal, Tonali added:

I’m really pleased for him. What a powerful header! He contributes immensely across the field—as a center-back, left-back, and even on the left wing. I’m thrilled for him.
