Burnley FC 1 - 4 Newcastle United FC
17:12
Despite starting strongly, it wasn't to be for Burnley, whose first half collapse cost them the game. With three goals from Wilson, Longstaff and Guimaraes, Burnley struggled to stop the Magpies once they got going, and were itching for the half-time whistle to blow once. In the second-half, there was definitely some positives to take for Kompany, but, with survival looking even more unlikely now, today had the potenital to be huge, and they just crumbled. In the second half, Newcastle had eight attempts, which is almost half what they had in the first half, so the break benefited the hosts, but it was too late and the damage had already been done. A huge three points for Newcastle puts the Geordie side into sixth in the Premier League table with just a few games left, and with a spot in Europe up for grabs, they are finding form at the best time. Next up for Burnley, a trip to north London and Tottenham Hotspur, who are struggling themselves at the moment, and for Newcastle, they host Brighton. It's still all to play for at both ends of the table, and nothing is guarenteed just yet. That's all for today, goodbye!

Expected goals at 3.18 xG for Newcastle now, with 10 minutes to go, they have really put pressure on Burnley this game. Burnley have defended better this second-half than in the first. Still, they have defended 19 goals throughout the game so far, but only four in the second-half is a small positive for Kompany to take from this game. Still 10 minutes plus added time to play.

Goal Alexander Isak

A long VAR check checks to issues with the penalty save, first checking encroachment and second, if there was a foul in the follow-up clearance. After a few moments, there's no evidence of any issues, and play continues.
Burnley vs Newcastle United16:16
IT'S SAVED!!!!!! Muric saves it! Isak who has never missed a penalty for Newcastle, steps up and shoots to his left, but it's saved.

Burnley vs Newcastle United16:09
A big 45 minutes to go for both sides, as Newcastle get us back underway for the second-half. It's hard to see Newcastle not increasing this scoreline in the second half.
Burnley vs Newcastle United16:01
Burnley, who had 51.6% possession in that first half, had eight shots with three on target, compared to their opposition, who had 15 attempts and 6 on target. Newcastle have an expected goal rate of 1.79 in the first half, with stand out performances from Wilson and Gordon. If it was not for Muric, the scoreline couldd be four, five, or more. It's hard to see the Clarets coming back in this second-half and the damage has already been done, it's now a question of damage limitations and keeping the score as little as they can, with Newcastle having five players getting a goal involvement they are not showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Burnley vs Newcastle United15:58
Flying at Turf Moor and flying into the top six as Newcastle run riot against struggling Burnley. It was a slow start for the visitors, and Burnley were managing to pressure the Magpies, but their chances came to nothing and they couldn't find the back of the net. Newcastle were clinical, impressive and damaging. After Callum Wilson scored their opening goal, Burnley fell apart, and that's not something you can do when you are fighting in the relegation battle.

It's Newcastle's turn to scream for a penalty after Wilson claims to be fouled in the box, but it certainly didn't look like a foul in the first instance. A quick VAR check, and play continues as no there is no foul play.
Burnley vs Newcastle United15:40
The corner is taken short from Gordon, who hits the ball to Murphy, who plays a one-two with the forward, and takes a shot. It's too far out to trouble Muric, who makes the save.

Burnley vs Newcastle United15:26
Burnley have dominated the game so far, and are unlucky to concede, but Wilson was the first to react to the save from Muric and found the back of the net. The hosts back to retain possession for a spell following that goal, as they need to be more clinical with their chances.
Burnley vs Newcastle United15:21
Goal Callum Eddie Graham Wilson

Another huge chance for Assignon as he takes a shot from outside the box, it's on target, but only as far as Dubravka who makes the comfortable save.
Burnley vs Newcastle United15:16
Three shots for Burnley in the opening 10 minutes, with one of those on target. They have enjoyed 63% possession so far, but they need to take one of their chances sooner, rather than later, if they want to take all three points from this game.

Burnley vs Newcastle United15:07
Chance for Burnley as Brownhill has a chance at goal, but it is wide as United do enough and the shot is wide. Good start to this game for the hosts, as Newcastle allow them to enjoy an early spell of possession.

Early corner for Burnley, as Livramento blocks the cross from coming into the box and kicks the ball out for a corner.

Burnley vs Newcastle United15:02
Newcastle make two changes to the side who beat relegated Sheffield United 5-1, as injured defender Schar is replaced by Krafth, and Anderson is dropped to the bench in replace of Wilson, who scored Newcastle's fifth goal against Sheffield United. A largely attacking side for Eddie Howe's team who have the chance to go sixth with a win this afternoon.
Burnley vs Newcastle United14:59
Brownhill comes into the starting line-up for Burnley today, replacing Fofana who drops to the bench. In their last game, the Clarets travelled to Manchester United and a late penalty saw them level and pick up a point against the Red Devils. Vincent Kompany's side will need to bring that energy from Old Trafford into today's game if they stand a chance at beating a Newcastle side who are scoring on average 2.2 goals per game.

It's the business end of the season for Burnley and Newcastle as a handful of games remain. Both teams are fighting their own respective battle heading into this game, for the hosts, they are fighting to stay in the Premier League, and for the Magpies, they need to finish in the top six if they want to play in Europe next season. However, the stats are in favour of the away side. Newcastle come into this tie having not lost to Burnley since 2019, however, the Clarets are undefeated in three games and have not lost at Turf Moor in two months. It's all to play for in this game, a win today for the hosts could see them leave the relegation zone, with Nottingham Forest, who currently sit in 17th, also kicking off at 3pm.
