The Paraguayan netted an 84th minute winner to send St James’s Park into raptures and Bruce, in all the excitement, began to tear down the sideline towards his goalscorer – but for his body failing him.

“I nearly did a Jose Mourinho, my hip has come out," said Bruce likening his celebrations to those of Mourinho at Old Trafford while Porto manager.

"Even I got carried away. I'm delighted. He is a good player, a great lad and very popular – you want people like that to succeed. Thankfully he has got it off his back."

On the fans sticking with Almiron, whose long wait for a goal is over, said: “I think the fans realise he's a good player. They're well educated in what they see, they know a good player when they see one. Thankfully today he's done it."
