Bruno Guimaraes SENT OFF for shocking lunge in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup semi vs Southampton – but CAN play in final


BRUNO GUIMARAES was sent off for a HORROR challenge in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup semi-final victory over Southampton.

The Brazilian flew in high on Samuel Edozie and was given his marching orders after Paul Tierney went over to check with the monitor and brandished the red card.

Fortunately for the midfielder, he WILL be available for the final.

That’s because suspensions count across all domestic competitions.

He’ll therefore miss the Premier League games against West Ham, Bournemouth and Liverpool before returning for the Wembley showdown on Sunday 26 February.

It was a horrific moment from one of the Mapgies’ top performers this season, who lunged in and stamped on Edozie.

Tierney didn’t send him off in real time, but after looking at the harrowing footage on the VAR monitor, he was left with no choice.

Despite Bruno’s moment of madness, it was still a night of celebration for Newcastle, who saw the game out despite playing the final moments with 10 men.

Having taken 1-0 lead into tonight’s clash, Sean Longstaff’s brace all-but secured their ticket to the final, even though Che Adams’ fine strike did cause some nervous moments.

Eddie Howe’s men will discover their opponents for the final tomorrow night with Manchester United hosting Nottingham Forest.

Although with United leading 3-0 on aggregate, it’s pretty safe to say that they’ll be facing Erik ten Hag’s side.

Incredibly, that would be a repeat of the 1999 FA Cup final, which was Newcastle’s last appearance in a domestic cup final.
