Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes was delighted with his goals in victory at Nottingham Forest.

Guimaraes scored twice for the 3-2 win on Saturday night.

He later said: "I'm very happy, it's a good game for us. I played with more freedom and felt good. It was important after the draw with Luton last week. We played very well and it was very important for us today.

"For me we shouldn't have give the ball away, we tried to pass. The second half we played very well. We played with the ball a lot tonight.

"It was a lovely goal. One of the most beautiful in my career. I dedicate this goal to the Mad Dog because we worked on it in training. When I play as a six, I don't get the chance to play forward as much so I enjoyed playing high."

"I think I can play six, eight and 10. I played very well with the two goals. Thank you gaffer. To be honest with you, when I saw the ball come I didn't know whether to hit it with my left or right but it was a perfection finish."
