LOCAL boy Sean Longstaff netted his first Premier League goal as Newcastle United pulled further away from the relegation zone with a 2-0 win over Burnley on Tuesday night.

Fabian Schar had opened the scoring 14 minutes earlier with a spectacular strike, but it was the youth product, from North Shields, who stole the show. 

The visitors had their chances, but Newcastle stayed resolute to record a fourth-straight home win, go above their opponents in the table and end their eight-match unbeaten run.
