""It was a bizarre ending, because we looked like we were home at 2-0 up," he said. "One goal can always change things and then the penalty happens. The extra man advantage then goes out of the window, and you have to see that bit out. "It was a sluggish start. Bruno got us a goal from a corner, we went 2-0 up, and I was hoping for a really vibrant second half, but it didn't happen."
""We didn't do well in the right areas, we didn't do enough in the second half to break them down. Credit to Burnley and how they defended. "It wasn't our best performance, but we got a win, and it's 10 points out of 12. We're moving in the right direction.""
Newcastle United beat Burnley 2-1 at St James' Park, with Bruno Guimaraes scoring directly from a corner and Anthony Gordon converting a penalty before half-time. Burnley were reduced to 10 men early when Lucas Pires received a straight red on his Premier League debut for bringing down Anthony Elanga. Zian Flemming scored a 94th-minute penalty to narrow the lead, and Josh Laurent almost headed a stoppage-time equaliser. Newcastle struggled to break Burnley down in the second half but secured the win, taking 10 points from their last four matches. Yoane Wissa made his Newcastle debut as a substitute and looked sharp.
