Newcastle 1-0 Burnley
by Harry De Cosemo

NEWCASTLE UNITED claimed a Premier League victory for the first time this season, running out 1-0 winners against fellow strugglers Burnley at St James’ Park.

It was much more structured and balanced from the hosts, and the relief of a raucous home crowd poured out at the final whistle.

Burnley struggled to match Newcastle’s intensity after Maxwell Cornet was forced off through injury in the first half.
