In Matchday 19 of the Premier League, Newcastle United claimed a well-deserved 3-1 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor. The opening goal came from Joelinton just one minute into the match, followed by an impressive strike from Yoane Wissa at the sixth minute. Burnley managed to pull one back through Joshua Laurent in the 22nd minute, but despite their efforts, they couldn’t change the outcome and fell to a final score of 3-1 thanks to a stunning shot from Bruno Guimarães.
A key highlight of the match was Bruno Guimarães’ goal scored in the 47th minute of the second half. After an individual effort on the right flank, the midfielder unleashed a powerful long-range strike that left the opposing goalkeeper with no chance, finding the back of the left post.
Burnley had a chance to equalize when defender Joshua Laurent struck the post in the 60th minute, missing a golden opportunity to bring his team back into the game.
Joelinton was undoubtedly the star of the match, as he not only scored one goal but also completed 38 accurate passes and made five interceptions. Yoane Wissa also played a crucial role, netting one goal, taking four shots on target, and providing nine successful passes.
Burnley’s coach, Scott Parker, set his side up in a 3-4-3 formation with Martin Dúbravka in goal; a defense line of Joshua Laurent, Hjalmar Ekdal, and Maxime Estève; midfielders Kyle Walker, Lesley Ugochukwu, Florentino Luís, and Lucas Pires; along with forwards Marcus Edwards, Armando Broja, and Loum Tchaouna.
On the other hand, Newcastle United, managed by Eddie Howe, adopted a 4-3-3 strategy with Nick Pope in goal; Lewis Miley, Malick Thiaw, Fabian Schär, and Lewis Hall in defense; Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimarães, and Joelinton in midfield; and Harvey Barnes, Yoane Wissa, and Anthony Gordon leading the attack.
The match was officiated by referee Robert Jones.
Looking ahead, Burnley will visit Brighton and Hove in their next fixture, while Newcastle will host Crystal Palace at St. James’ Park. Currently, Burnley sits 19th in the league with 12 points, while Newcastle climbs to 10th place with 26 points.
