"Newcastle United got back to winning ways in the Premier League, after holding out for a 2-1 victory over 10-man Burnley. Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon were on target for Eddie Howe's side, who climbed into the top half of the table despite Zian Flemming's late penalty at St James' Park. The visitors made a bright start with Aaron Ramsdale pushing Lucas Pires' corner onto the crossbar, while Gordon struck the post from range at the other end."
"It was the hosts who broke the deadlock in the 31st minute, as Guimaraes brilliantly beat Martin Dubravka directly from a corner. Burnley were reduced to 10 men in the 43rd minute when last man Pires was dismissed on his first Premier League start for tripping Anthony Elanga. Newcastle doubled the lead from the penalty spot in first-half stoppage time, with Gordon tucking away after Lesley Ugochukwu was penalised for handball."
