Bruno Guimaraes scored the winner for Newcastle United with a brilliant back-heeled volley as his side came from a goal down to secure a vital 2-1 victory at Southampton in the Premier League on Thursday.
Stuart Armstrong gave Southampton the lead midway through the first half with a deflected header, but Chris Wood equalised for the visitors with a precise header from Jonjo Shelvey's superb inswinging cross in the 32nd minute.
It was the striker's first goal in his eighth appearance for Newcastle, and Guimaraes also grabbed his first for the Magpies with an audacious piece of skill in the 66th minute, reacting quickest to back-heel the ball into the net following a corner.
Martin Dubravka pulled off a superb save from Mohammed Salisu late on as Newcastle preserved their unbeaten league run in 2022 to move to 31 points, 10 ahead of 18th-placed Burnley. Southampton are 10th on 35 points.
