Early goals from Joelinton and Yoane Wissa gave Newcastle only their second away win of the Premier League season as they held off Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor. Joelinton's first Premier League goal in 365 days put the Magpies ahead after just 65 seconds, and Wissa doubled the lead in the seventh minute on his first league start for the club.
Josh Laurent pulled one back for Burnley in the 23rd minute, but despite dominating the second half with numerous chances, the Clarets could not find an equaliser. Bruno Guimaraes sealed the victory in stoppage time after a mix-up between Hjalmar Ekdal and goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, leaving Burnley winless in 10 games and six points from safety.
Newcastle's first win on the road since November was not entirely convincing, as Burnley poured forward after the break. Lucas Pires hit the crossbar, Loum Tchaouna headed wide, and goalkeeper Nick Pope made several crucial saves against his former club. At the other end, Malick Thiaw saw a header cleared off the line and Jacob Murphy blazed over with the goal gaping.
The defeat deepens Burnley's relegation fears, while Newcastle climb to 10th in the table but extend their run without a clean sheet to over two months.
