Callum Wilson continues his scoring streak against Burnley with six goals in six games
In a crucial match for both teams, Newcastle United emerged victorious against Burnley with a resounding 4-1 win at Turf Moor. The result leaves Burnley in a precarious position, staring at a second Premier League relegation in three seasons.
The game started brightly for Burnley, but they failed to capitalize on their early chances, with Jacob Bruun Larsen’s effort saved by Newcastle’s goalkeeper Martin Dubravka. The turning point came when Callum Wilson capitalized on a rebound to give Newcastle the lead with their first attack of the game.
Newcastle continued to dominate the first half, adding two more goals through Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes. Despite a penalty miss from Alexander Isak, the Swede made amends by scoring Newcastle’s fourth goal of the game.
Burnley managed to pull one back late in the game through Dara O’Shea’s header, but it was too little, too late for the struggling side. The defeat leaves Burnley five points from safety with only two games remaining in the season.
Callum Wilson’s goal against Burnley marked his sixth goal in six games against the Clarets, further highlighting his prowess against the team. Newcastle’s emphatic victory moves them up to sixth place in the league, putting them in contention for Europa League football next season.
The result leaves Burnley with a mountain to climb in their remaining fixtures against Tottenham and Nottingham Forest. The Clarets will need a miraculous turnaround to avoid the drop and salvage their Premier League status.
