Newcastle United 1 Burnley 0

 The Clarets created opportunities at St James’ Park, and had a goal ruled out for offside, but it was the North East side that claimed the win.

 Burnley made two changes from the draw at Wolves, with James Tarkowski and Ashley Westwood returning to the starting line up, in place of the injured Ben Mee and Jack Cork, the latter dropping to the bench. Meanwhile, the hosts named former Claret, Jeff Hendrick, on the bench.

 The first opportunity of the match fell the way of the visitors when Maxwel Cornet got on the end of a Chris Wood flick on, bearing down on goal, our number 20 struck wide.

 A second chance soon followed for Sean Dyche’s side, as Johann Berg Gudmundsson carried the ball from his own half to the edge of the Newcastle penalty area, but Dwight McNeil couldn’t direct a header on target.
