At Bramall Lane, despite a shaky start for Newcastle, Eddie Howe’s team defeated a woeful Sheffield United club by eight goals to make Premier League history.
In the division’s history, no side has ever scored eight goals with eight different players (excluding own goals) as the Magpies turned on the flair in South Yorkshire.
One of those who scored was Bruno Guimaraes, who left the game with Sandro Tonali purring.
After the Sheffield United game, Sandro Tonali sent Bruno Guimaraes a four-word message. Tonali was among the first to congratulate Guimaraes on his goal on social media.
The Brazilian star wrote: Great match and happiness for my first goal of the season! alongside a photo of himself in celebration on Instagram.
I’d like to use this opportunity to welcome a new boy into our family. Greetings, Pietro! You already have so much affection from your parents.
Tonali replied: Bruno, Bruno, Bruno, Bruno and gave a bunch of love hearts.
Hopefully the start of something special
Tonali came on beside Guimaraes for the last minutes even though he didn’t start on Sunday.
It’s fair to say that so far, things haven’t quite gone as planned with both of PIF’s major midfield acquisitions playing in the center.
Even though there will undoubtedly be harsher tests ahead, the time they spent playing together when there was no pressure from others may help the two get along much better in the future.
If Newcastle is to surpass their season from the previous year, they need both players to be on their game. Good players should be able to play well together.
Perhaps that pretty favorable-looking test will give them another chance to impress when Burnley plays next in the Premier League.
