Newcastle recorded their third consecutive Premier League victory thanks to a stunning goal from Miguel Almiron and an Alexander Isak penalty to beat Burnley 2-0 at St James’ Park.
Momentum is building for Eddie Howe's side ahead of their Champions League tie with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, but the wait goes on for Burnley's first three points of the season.
Almiron found the top left corner with a superb 25-yard strike in the 14th minute despite a bright start from the visitors.
Newcastle dominated once ahead and finally added a second in the 76th minute after Anthony Gordon was brought down in the area by Ameen Al Dakhil and Isak stepped up to coolly roll home from the spot.
What's next?
Newcastle face a huge Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain at St James' Park on Wednesday; kick-off 8pm.
After that, Howe's side face a trip to the London Stadium to play West Ham on Sunday October 7; kick-off 2pm.
Meanwhile, Burnley are back in action on Tuesday when they face a trip to Luton in the Premier League; kick-off 7.30pm.

New Castle are a pretty exciting team and the way they went about the take over seems to be paying off. The Richest owner in the world and they barely spent any money while buying one or two players here and there plus the signings they make are all top notch. I think Chelsea could learn something from them and I'm not trying to be rude but that's how you build a squad that can compete instantly and in the future.
