Guimaraes: Miley? Newcastle have a star

Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes was full of praise for Lewis Miley after victory over Chelsea.

Guimaraes admits he's taken the teen under his wing.

He told Chronicle Live: "Lewis Miley is a star - he is massive. When I was 17, sorry to use the word but I was s**t.

"Lewis is really great and is a fantastic talent. It was an unbelievable performance from him. He gave an assist and played very, very well. I am very happy for him."

Bruno also said: "It was massive for him. He is a young guy who every day tries to deliver his best in training.

"He listens to everyone. I try to speak with him a lot, make jokes with him a lot because he's so quiet. He's a quiet lad, a good boy.

"But I am so proud of him. When I was 17 I was not the player I am today and I can't imagine myself delivering this performance when I was 17. He was unbelievable."
