Bruno Guimaraes says that Newcastle United can't afford to get too carried away after their slender victory at Southampton.
The Brazil international was the broadcasters' man of the match at St Mary's Stadium but has demanded focus on the second leg at St James' Park next week in front of a full house. Bruno sprayed the play all night on the South Coast yet expects a tough rematch on Tyneside.
The former Lyon ace told Chronicle Live: "No, we're not done yet. I think we could score more goals but we're happy with the win. It was just the first 90 minutes and we played well, we controlled the game, and now it's time to get some rest and think about the second game at home."

Despite missing a boat load of chances in front of goal, Newcastle have the firm advantage with just Joelinton's strike and the clean sheet putting the Magpies in the driving seat.
Bruno said: "Clean sheets are always welcome, I think the defence and Pope are doing very well and we are proud. It's all important to keep the clean sheet."
Newcastle are grinding out results even when they aren't at their best but Bruno wants to quickly shrug off last night and focus on next week's second leg.
He said: "It's true but it's just the first game. We got a big win today on a difficult pitch to play here but I think we deserve to have the win today.
"We are a little bit disappointed not to win by more, but we're happy with the win but not satisfied because we could have scored more goals. "This happens in football and the most important thing was the win."
