Burnley vs Newcastle United
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!
