Bruno Guimaraes could not hide his frustration after Newcastle United’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.
It had looked like the Brazil international was going to be the Magpies’ saviour, having been introduced at half-time and given Newcastle United the lead.
But it was a lead that did not last, with Newcastle drawing with Spurs after throwing away the lead twice.
In the hours after the game, Bruno questioned Newcastle United’s mentality. He is right to do that, having been part of a side that has now given up four points from goals conceded in stoppage time.
That reaction from Bruno was on social media, but what he did on the pitch immediately after the full-time whistle said just as much.
More points thrown away, do Newcastle United have a mentality problem?😠
Bad feeling not being able to come away with the three points, especially right at the end of the match. We need to improve our mentality so that mistakes like this don’t happen again. On Saturday we have another opportunity at home, which we can’t afford to waste.

Bruno Guimaraes stormed round the pitch after Newcastle United’s draw with Spurs
There was a brief coming together after the referee called time on Tuesday night, with Bruno Guimaraes and Cristian Romero embroiled in a war of words.
After they were separated, Bruno then shared his frustration with fellow Brazilian and pantomime villain Richarlison.

The 28-year-old then started what had to be the quickest lap of appreciation St James’ Park has ever seen. Bruno marched around the pitch alone, clearly seething at seeing his side concede so late on.
It was such a soft goal to concede too. The fact a Newcastle United player was unable to block Romero’s overhead kick is incredible, while Aaron Ramsdale did not cover himself in glory either.
Bruno’s post-match actions said it all. It is an infuriating result, and one that feels like a defeat rather than a draw.
Cristian Romero mocked Bruno Guimaraes during Newcastle United vs Spurs
There was no love lost between Bruno and Romero at full-time, as is often the case when Brazilians and Argentinians come together.
Cristian Romero bizarrely copied Bruno Guimaraes’ celebration after scoring against Newcastle🤔
Nothing quite like copying your idols…
The reason for their war of words is unclear, although it is hard to imagine Bruno was best pleased with what Romero did after his 95th minute equaliser.
The Spurs centre-back ran in front of the Newcastle United fans in celebration, cupping his ears just like Bruno does when he scores.
On a night that should have belonged to the Magpies, it was certainly Spurs who got the last laugh.
