PLAYER RATINGS: Bruno Guimaraes nets crucial late winner for Newcastle as Anthony Gordon continues fine form… but which Toon defender struggled at Fulham?

Newcastle continued their late push for European football after beating Fulham 1-0.

Bruno Guimaraes crashed home a superb winner for Eddie Howe's side at Craven Cottage after latching onto a loose ball on the edge of the penalty area.

The visitors had seen a goal ruled out just minutes before the breakthrough, with Fabian Schar's effort chalked off for a foul from Dan Burn in the build-up.

The victory sees the Magpies in eighth place, just one point behind seventh.
