The win was a welcome relief for Newcastle, who had suffered a disappointing loss at Brighton last weekend. However, they had bounced back with a convincing 3-0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League midweek. The team's performance against Fulham showed a renewed sense of determination and purpose, with Jacob Murphy scoring in the 18th minute and the team creating several scoring opportunities throughout the game.

For Howe, the win was a significant moment in the season, as it provided a much-needed confidence boost for the team. He emphasized the importance of late goals in changing the momentum of a game and affecting the team's morale. The win has moved Newcastle to 10th place in the Premier League table, and Howe is hoping to build on this momentum in the coming weeks.

Guimaraes, who has been a key player for the team, was thrilled with the win and praised his teammates for their effort. He acknowledged that the team had been tired after their midweek match, but they managed to find the energy to secure the three points. The midfielder also expressed his desire to rest and recharge for the next game.

Newcastle's next challenge will be to maintain their momentum and continue to push for a top-half finish in the Premier League. With their renewed sense of confidence and determination, the team is looking more like the one that finished fifth last season and won the League Cup.
