LIVE: Newcastle United v Burnley
Brilliant from Brownhill
Brownhill busts a gut to get back and nick the ball off the toe of Saint-Maximin, who had threatened to break away at speed.
Big chance goes begging
Vydra wastes an excellent chance to draw Burnley level. He's in acres of space when bringing down Gudmundsson's pass on his chest, but lacks composure and lifts the ball well over the bar.
HALF-TIME: Newcastle United 1 Burnley 0.
The Clarets certainly don't deserve to be behind, they've crafted the better openings in the first half, but Wilson's goal separates the sides at the break.
Pope gets the slightest of touches to Almiron's strike as the Paraguayan fires across goal and turns the attempt just wide of the far post.
Another set-piece wasted
Gudmundsson off-target with a free kick. Feels like a while since the Clarets last hit the target from a set-piece.
Vital touch
That's a vital touch from Collins. Almiron's left-footed effort is travelling towards the corner of goal and the defender gets a touch to turn the ball over.
