Burnley 1-3 Newcastle: Magpies end winless run away to Parker's strugglers

Newcastle United ended their three-game winless run in the Premier League and piled further misery on struggling Burnley after Tuesday's 3-1 victory at Turf Moor.

Match Report

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 they 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' effort kicked away when one-on-one with Nick Pope.

But 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.

Data Debrief: Joelinton joins Shearer, Wissa delivers again

Howe received the response he desired as Joelinton condemned Burnley to the fastest goal they have ever conceded in the Premier League.

The Brazilian also became just the second player to score on their 200th Premier League appearance for Newcastle, alongside Alan Shearer against Charlton Athletic in March 2003.

Wissa's introduction also paid dividends, becoming the 25th player to score on their first start in the competition for the Magpies after netting his ninth league goal in eight starts against newly promoted sides.

There was less reason for celebration from Burnley, who have now conceded 21 more league goals in 19 Premier League matches in 2025-26 (37) than they did in 46 Championship games in 2024-25 (16).

And Howe will feel it was a deserved victory after his side accumulated 2.01 expected goals (xG) to Burnley's 1.06.
