"A massive win for us. I don't think it really matters tonight so much in terms of how we did it, we just needed to do it. It was a really strong start from us, in recognition of how important the game was for us. I can't praise the players enough for how we battled through it. It was never going to be easy tonight."
"Indeed, Newcastle still harbour concerns at the back given they have conceded in each of their last 12 Premier League matches - their longest run in the competition under a single manager since 2007. But Howe's decision to replace Nick Woltemade with Wissa, and Jacob Murphy moving out for Harvey Barnes - who was heavily involved in Newcastle's second goal - paid dividends."
Newcastle United ended a three-game Premier League winless run with a 3-1 victory at Turf Moor over Burnley, claiming their second league away win and moving up to 10th. Joelinton scored on 65 seconds in his 200th Premier League appearance, and Yoane Wissa netted on his first league start five minutes later. Josh Laurent's first-half volley gave Burnley hope, but Bruno Guimaraes sealed the result in stoppage time. Eddie Howe praised the players' character and battle, while defensive worries persist after Newcastle conceded in each of their last 12 Premier League matches.
