Bruno Guimaraes was spotted exchanging his match-worn shirt for 'the best deal of the transfer window' after Newcastle United secured a 3-1 win over Aston Villa.
Eddie Howe's side ended Villa's 17-match unbeaten home run in the Premier League on Wednesday as goals from Fabian Schar [2] and Alex Moreno [OG] sealed a crucial three points.
It was a memorable night for the Newcastle faithful, including Bruno Guimaraes, who left Villa Park with two huge bars of Kinder Bueno chocolate after the Brazilian midfielder swapped his jersey for the popular Italian snack.

As you can see from the footage below, Guimaraes looked delighted with the exchange. In fact, Newcastle's official channel soon captured his reaction as he walked down the tunnel.
Here is that wholesome moment below:
Clearly the fan had done some research ahead of kick-off. Last year, Guimaraes' fiancee, Ana, said the midfielder's favourite chocolate treat was an egg that included a yellow capsule and toy.

That, of course, points to the classic Kinder Egg.
Guimaraes also confessed to being on a diet after saying his "weakness" was chocolate.
Speaking on Prime Video's We Are Newcastle United documentary, he said: "I'm on a diet, I don't like to drink but I have a problem with sweet things. Chocolate is my weakness. It's better I stop talking about chocolate."
In an interview with GQ magazine in October, the 26-year-old brought up Kinder Eggs again.

“I said in an interview that I love Kinder Eggs... Then in the first game, we play at home, they throw Kinder Eggs at the pitch – 'Bruno, for you! For you!'
"I feel very, very good here. I feel Geordie. I love what the fans have done for me.”
Here's how fans reacted to the shirt swap at Villa Park this week.

One said: "An #NUFC fan seems to have given Bruno Guimaraes some chocolate after the 3-1 win over Villa. Because how else do you celebrate a massive win than with some Kinder Bueno."
A second wrote: "Bruno Guimaraes swapping his shirt for a packet of Kinder Buenos is the best deal of the transfer window so far," while a third commented: "Man of culture."
Newcastle will host Luton Town on Saturday as they try and build on a crucial win against Vila.
