Newcastle ends winless run away to Burnley
Newcastle United ended its three-game winless run in the Premier League and piled further misery on struggling Burnley with a 3-1 victory at Turf Moor.
Eddie Howe's side had not won since a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture against 19th-placed Burnley earlier this month at St. James' Park, but it surged into a 2-0 lead in just seven minutes.
Joelinton marked his 200th Premier League appearance with a cool finish just 65 seconds in, following fine work from Anthony Gordon, who left Kyle Walker in a twist on the left flank.
Yoane Wissa then tapped home his first league goal for Newcastle on his maiden top-flight start just five minutes later, reacting quickest after Martin Dubravka had denied both Harvey Barnes and Bruno Guimaraes.
However, Josh Laurent halved the deficit with a fine 23rd-minute volley from Armando Broja's flick-on, before Fabian Schar cleared off the line when Marcus Edwards searched for a leveller on the stroke of half-time.
Scott Parker's side continued to dominate after the interval, seeing Lauren denied by the woodwork, Loum Tchaouna nod wide, and Edwards's effort kicked away when one-on-one with Nick Pope.
A Dubravka error ended any hopes of a comeback as Guimaraes profited on the goalkeeper's mistake to loft into an empty net in the third minute of stoppage time, leaving Burnley winless in 10 league games.
