Long before the end Burnley were down to 10 men, en route towards a sixth straight Premier League<\/a> defeat and concerned, largely, with damage limitation. But then, as is becoming a habit here, Newcastle lost concentration and Burnley very nearly pickpocketed a last-minute point when Josh Laurent miscued a glorious headed chance to equalise in the dying seconds.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to improve,\u201d said the home manager, Eddie Howe. \u201cIt was a bizarre ending, and a sluggish start, but we got the job done. It was a tough game and the vibrant second half I was hoping for didn\u2019t happen, but we\u2019ve taken 10 points from the last possible 12. That\u2019s no mean feat so let\u2019s be positive rather than negative; we\u2019re moving in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

To their considerable credit, Burnley<\/a> never surrendered and pushed hard at the door opened by Zian Flemming\u2019s late penalty. If it is easy to joke that Burnley\u2019s biggest source of elan is their manager\u2019s dress sense, those who argue Scott Parker should be replaced did not see how hard the players fought for him. Lucas Pires\u2019s 43rd-minute sending off ensured his day would end badly but Howe\u2019s post match relief spoke volumes.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel frustrated and disappointed,\u201d Parker said. \u201cIt\u2019s tough. That was an incredible performance from us, probably our best of the season. We\u2019ve set a new bar, today is how I want us to look.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newcastle\u2019s lack of invention in open play left them dependent on attacking set plays and they took the lead from one as Bruno Guimar\u00e3es\u2019s corner swerved wickedly before dropping into Martin Dubravka\u2019s net.<\/p>\n

Burnley\u2019s goalkeeper, making his first return to St James\u2019 Park since leaving Newcastle during the summer, is still cross with Howe \u2013 a former Burnley manager \u2013 for dropping him for last season\u2019s Carabao Cup final<\/a> and he reminded everyone of his quality with some very decent saves.<\/p>\n

Pires was shown a straight red card for felling Anthony Elanga just outside the area when the Newcastle winger was clean through. Next, Lesley Ugochukwu\u2019s handball in first-half stoppage time prefaced Anthony Gordon doubling Newcastle\u2019s advantage from the penalty spot. Gordon had earlier used his left foot to graze a post.<\/p>\n

After a bright opening featuring plenty of intelligent passing and movement, not to mention missed half-chances, Burnley, albeit temporarily, looked a little lost.<\/p>\n

During those early exchanges Newcastle\u2019s had frequently been slapdash in possession and looked jaded before an eight-day period featuring Wednesday\u2019s Champions League trip to Bayer Leverkusen and next Sunday\u2019s north-east derby at Sunderland.<\/p>\n

They livened up after the 35th-minute booking collected by Kyle Walker that dictated the former England right-back could no longer afford to take too many risks in his compelling duel with Gordon.<\/p>\n

The England winger\u2019s final act was to direct a shot against the crossbar before being withdrawn in a double substitution in the 74th minute featuring his replacement by Joelinton and Yoane Wissa taking Nick Woltemade\u2019s place.<\/p>\n

More than three months on from his \u00a355m transfer deadline day move<\/a> from Brentford, Wissa was finally making his Newcastle debut. A knee injury sustained on international duty with DR Congo in early September has sidelined Newcastle\u2019s latest No 9, but he was finally able to impress with a series of deft touches and some clever link play.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Jacob Ramsey, making a rare appearance in the first team after his \u00a340m summer move from Aston Villa<\/a> struggled at times in midfield and it was his stoppage-time handball that led to Flemming\u2019s reduction of the deficit from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n

Visiting heartache would flow from Edwards\u2019s subsequent free-kick, but Parker\u2019s pride remained undimmed. \u201cI\u2019ve got a team there,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve set down a marker for the rest of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long before the end Burnley were down to 10 men, en route towards a sixth straight Premier League…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":616793,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[748,393,4884,12,1144,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-616792","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-northern-ireland","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115675064166980080","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=616792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/616793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=616792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=616792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=616792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
