Bruno Guimaraes has accepted responsibility for his role in Newcastle United's horror-show 3-1 defeat to Fulham on Saturday. The Brazilian struggled during the game, making a catastrophic error handing Reiss Nelson a final goal to clinch matters.

Newcastle United suffered their first defeat of the season at Craven Cottage against Fulham in the Premier League.

Intriguing to read through these BBC Sport comments, following on from Newcastle United’s defeat to Fulham. The BBC Sport comments from neutrals in the past had been overwhelmingly a catalogue of abuse aimed at NUFC supporters.

Despite being only their first defeat of the season, the loss against Fulham felt like a result that had been coming after a few below-par performances. Howe’s side have never really hit top gear in any of their games so far this campaign and were fortunate to beat Wolves last time out thanks to two stunning strikes from Harvey Barnes and Fabian Schar.

And it was Guimaraes who was directly at fault for the third goal as he passed the ball straight to Reiss Nelson during stoppage time. Guimaraes’ error allowed the Cottagers to put the result beyond doubt.
