Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes had double cause for celebration following the Magpies’ 3-1 victory over Aston Villa on Tuesday evening.

Firstly, securing the win was significant as no other team had managed to claim victory at Villa Park in the Premier League this season. Newcastle’s triumph marked a pivotal moment, potentially signaling a turnaround for Eddie Howe’s squad. While Bruno Guimaraes had a relatively subdued performance compared to his usual standards, he played a crucial role in the team’s success.

Guimaraes exhibited great discipline during the match, mindful of the consequences of another booking which would lead to a two-game suspension, a situation the team could ill afford given their current shortage of midfielders.

Despite his restrained approach, Guimaraes showcased exceptional ball retention throughout the game and displayed his prowess with some impressive long passes reminiscent of Jonjo Shelvey at his peak.

Overall, the 26-year-old put in a commendable performance at Villa Park and was duly rewarded for his contributions.

Bruno Guimaraes given Kinder chocolate after Newcastle beat Aston Villa

After the game, as the Newcastle players made their way down the tunnel, Bruno engaged in conversation with someone near the dugout. Eventually, he exchanged his shirt with a spectator for two boxes of Kinder Bueno chocolate. Bruno’s joy was palpable as he headed down the tunnel, triumphantly holding up his Italian confectionery and letting out a triumphant ‘yes’.

Reflecting on the exchange, Peter Crouch commented on TNT Sports, suggesting that Bruno may have been taken advantage of, jokingly implying that he went in for the chocolates only to be asked for his shirt straight after. However, this wasn’t just a spontaneous act of generosity. It stemmed from Bruno’s well-known affection for Kinder chocolate, as revealed in the club’s Amazon Prime documentary released the previous year.

With the promise of more chocolate following good results, it’s possible that Bruno is poised to embark on the best streak of his career. Just don’t be surprised if he seems a bit slower on the pitch – perhaps due to indulging in his favorite treats.
