Burnley vs Newcastle United Player Ratings
Burnley vs Newcastle United Summary
Escaping relegation has become tougher for Burnley following a huge home defeat to Newcastle United. Vincent Kompany’s squad were clueless, conceding four goals inside 60 minutes on the clock.
Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, and Alexander Isak were taking turns to strike the ball into the back of Arijanet Muric’s net. The Clarets could only score one, four minutes into the stoppage time through Dara O’Shea. With two games to go, Burnley can only hope that Nottingham Forest and Luton Town lose their remaining games.
