Bruno Guimaraes predicted Newcastle United’s 3-0 win over Sunderland a long time ago.
That was his message to Newcastle fans after the game, after Newcastle thrashed Sunderland at the Stadium Of Light to advance to the FA Cup fourth round.
Despite the fact that there was a lot of anxiety going into the game, it turned out to be a pleasant afternoon on Wearside.
Newcastle dominated Sunderland, with a Dan Ballard own goal and a brace from Alexander Isak handing the Magpies the victory.
Eddie Howe’s team was anticipated to win, and they did so emphatically. It was a nearly ideal afternoon for his team, with Bruno Guimaraes and Miguel Almiron leading the way in black and white.

Bruno Guimaraes was exceptional, and he addressed the crowd after the game. He re-posted an old photo of himself playing FIFA 23 with the Magpies, in which he defeated Sunderland 3-0.
He added below the photo, “I knew it a long time ago.”
His comment was responded to by Toon co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi, who couldn’t help but giggle at the Brazilian midfielder’s post.

Bruno Guimaraes was immense against Sunderland
Bruno had foreseen Newcastle’s victory well in advance, and he showcased an exceptional performance in his inaugural Tyne-Wear derby. His dominance in the midfield was evident, highlighting both his skill on the ball and his resilience and intelligence off it.
Bruno’s trademark passion was on full display as he enthusiastically celebrated in front of the Toon Army, having pressed Sunderland in their own box, resulting in the ball deflecting off him for a goal kick. The eruption of cheers was extraordinary – one could easily mistake it for a goal he had personally scored!
However, the goal-scoring honors were left to Black Cats defender Ballard and Toon striker Isak, as Newcastle effortlessly secured a 3-0 victory on Wearside. Eddie Howe had called for his key players to step up at the Stadium Of Light, and Bruno rose to the occasion, delivering a standout performance.
