During Newcastle’s dominant 4-0 victory over Tottenham, fans witnessed a heated exchange between Brazilian midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and Argentinian counterpart Giovani Lo Celso. Guimaraes provocatively counted to four on his fingers, seemingly taunting Lo Celso in response to Newcastle’s four-goal lead.

While some viewers enjoyed the “s***housery,” others criticized it as unsporting behavior. The match saw Newcastle’s Alexander Isak shine with a brace, contributing to Tottenham’s demoralizing defeat. The loss pushed Tottenham down to fifth place in the Premier League table on goal difference, while Newcastle remains ten points behind the top four. Opinions on Guimaraes’ gesture were divided, with some viewing it as a nod to the historic Brazil vs. Argentina rivalry, while others deemed it unsportsmanlike.

Despite the mixed reactions, some fans appreciated Guimaraes’ banter, suggesting it added to the excitement of the match. Meanwhile, another observer shifted focus to North London, highlighting that Spurs conceded as many goals in this game as Arsenal had in the entirety of 2024, sparking a discussion about bragging rights in the region.
