Huddersfield vs Burnley: Sean Dyche's side clinch vital win at expense of relegation-threatened hosts

Re-live the action from the relegation clash

Premier League weekend round-up: Liverpool extend lead at top in final games of 2018

Ashley Barnes' second-half winner clinched Burnley a 2-1 win at 10-man relegation rivals Huddersfield and lifted them out of the bottom three.

Barnes notched his fifth goal of the season after Chris Wood had cancelled out Steve Mounie's first-half opener for Huddersfield, who slumped to a club record eighth straight defeat.

The home side battled bravely despite being a man down for the entire second period following Christopher Schindler's dismissal for two yellow-card offences just before the break.

Burnley also ended with 10 men after substitute Robbie Brady's straight red card for a cynical challenge on Isaac Mbenza in the closing stages. Re-live the action below:

Player to watch

Johann Gudmundsson: The Icelandic midfielder has been a bright spark for Dyche at times this season with two goals and four assists. His ability at set pieces and his strong crossing makes him a real threat and if Burnley can keep him involved, he’ll create chances.

Prediction

Huddersfield 2-2 Burnley: I think we could be looking at plenty of goals in this one, with two teams fighting to win what would be a vital three points, especially for Huddersfield. Wagner will know that a loss puts them in serious danger so I feel they’ll come out fighting but in the end only grab a draw

Newcastle 0-2 Manchester United, 90 + 5 minutes

Romelu Lukaku opts to shoot with four teammates in support as Manchester United again find space on the break.

His effort is lacking in power, and Martin Dubravka brings the ball into his body comfortably on this occasion.

​Matching the achievement of Sir Matt Busby, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer begins his stint at Manchester United with four wins from four. A first clean sheet of the Solskjaer tenure, and goals from Romelu Lukaku (moments after coming off the bench) and Marcus Rashford giving the visitors a 2-0 win.

Newcastle had their chances. Christian Atsu had about five sighters at goal on his left foot, but not a single one seriously troubled David De Gea, and Rafa Benitez's side lack of quality in the final third showed. 

Newcastle stay 15th, level on points with Burnley and Cardiff below them, just two points clear of the relegation zone.
