Jonás Gutiérrez's Goal vs. West Ham was the Best Moment on the Final Day of the EPL Season

There hasn’t been very many positives this season at St. James Park, but let’s take a moment to smile with Gutierrez, who returned to the team in March after overcoming a long battle with testicular cancer. The relationship between the player and club remains strained over how it dealt with him during his treatments — loaning him to Norwich City last January — but it didn’t appear to be on the Argentine midfielder’s mind when he celebrated with teammates and fans.
