Newcastle United claimed only their second away victory of the Premier League season with a 3-1 win over Burnley at Turf Moor, leaving the hosts six points adrift of safety after a tenth game without a win.
Joelinton scored his first Premier League goal in 365 days after just 65 seconds, converting Anthony Gordon’s low cross. Yoane Wissa doubled the lead six minutes later, prodding home after a scramble, despite Burnley’s protests that Bruno Guimaraes had fouled Josh Laurent.
Burnley pulled one back in the 23rd minute when Laurent fired in after Armando Broja flicked on Lucas Pires’ cross. The hosts dominated the second half, hitting the crossbar through Laurent and forcing saves from Nick Pope, but could not find an equaliser.
Guimaraes sealed the win in stoppage time after a mix-up between Hjalmar Ekdal and goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, firing into an empty net from 25 yards. The victory was Newcastle’s first on the road since November, while Burnley’s winless run extended to ten games.
