WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Club reports

Newcastle United claimed back-to-back victories, easing past Burnley 2-0 at home, with Miguel Almiron and Alexander Isak scoring the goals. 

A slip from Dan Burn almost allowed Burnley to open the scoring after only four minutes, with Nick Pope thwarting Zeki Amdouni’s shot.

Newcastle took the lead on 14 minutes as Kieran Trippier won the ball and fed Almiron, who bent a beautiful shot into the top corner to score in back-to-back matches. 

Alexander Isak had a chance to double the lead, but after the Swede’s initial shot was blocked by Trafford, the striker was unable to finish the rebound.

With 15 minutes remaining, Isak was given another chance, this time from the penalty spot after Ameen Al Dakhil fouled Anthony Gordon in the box. The Swede converted to seal Newcastle’s fourth win of the season to go eighth with 12 points. 

Burnley have only one point and are above bottom-club Sheffield United on goal difference.

What the managers said

Eddie Howe: "We recovered from a shaky start. We weren't at our best for the first 10 minutes. Once we scored we were the better team.

"We were keen to learn from our recent games; when we've had the lead we haven't pushed on. I'm delighted with this win because of what happened in the build-up, the high of beating Man City and coming back to a really difficult home game." See more

Vincent Kompany: "The first eight games, City, United, Tottenham, Newcastle, Villa, Chelsea and as a newly-promoted team I’m not that naive to guess it’s not this type of start.

“But we did really well against Forest, we showed a positive performance against United and today again.
“Against Luton, everybody knows, we just want to get a result. We think we can get results against Luton, we think we can get results in the future against teams like today.” See more
