The Brazilian, who had earlier cancelled out Ademola Lookman바카라™s first-half opener, headed in Joe Willock바카라™s deflected cross to send 14th-placed Newcastle 12 points clear of the relegation zone with six games remaining.
Leicester, which reached the Europa Conference League semifinals on Thursday, remained in ninth place.
Leicester took a 19th-minute lead after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sent a low corner into Ayoze Perez바카라™s near-post run. When Perez flicked the ball inside, Lookman drove a shot through a crowded penalty area and underneath goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka.
Newcastle leveled in the 30th minute. Defender Dan Burn headed down Jonjo Shelvey바카라™s corner and Kasper Schmeichel blocked Guimarães바카라™ initial shot.
But Guimarães then poked the ball between the goalkeeper바카라™s legs and across the line. Referee Jarred Gillett, after being advised to review his initial decision to rule out the goal, changed his mind.
After Dan Burn denied Kelechi Iheanacho a late winner from Dewsbury-Hall바카라™s cross, Guimarães pounced to give Newcastle a fifth successive home win.
In its first season under Saudi ownership, Newcastle can be sure of transforming the club while still in the Premier League.
