Goals in either half from Miguel Almiron and Alexander Isak condemned Vincent Kompany's men to their fifth defeat in their opening six games of the campaign.

Here's how Burnley’s players rated...

Had to deal with the fierce press from Isak and the Newcastle attack. Couldn’t do much about either goal, but a little lax a couple of passes.

A little careless in possession but otherwise solid enough against a threatening Newcastle frontline.

Given a tough afternoon by Alexander Isak, who was always looking to run onto the ball in behind.

Conceded the penalty after giving the ball away in a poor position. Almost atoned for the error with a header at the other end.
