Burnley face relegation after Newcastle humbling

Burnley vs Newcastle

In his most recent performances against Burnley, Callum Wilson has netted a total of six goals in six consecutive games.

Burnley's fate in the Premier League seems bleak once again as they suffer a humiliating loss at Turf Moor against a dominating Newcastle United team. This could mark their second relegation in just three seasons.

Last season, Vincent Kompany's team won the Championship title. Despite having a slight chance of avoiding relegation before Saturday's match, their hopes were crushed after a terrible loss on home turf and Nottingham Forest's victory against Sheffield United by a score of 3-1. As a result, with only two games left, they now find themselves five points away from safety.

The Burnley team began the match with a lot of energy but failed to take advantage of their good start. Jacob Bruun Larsen tried to score in the third minute, but Martin Dubravka stopped his attempt. In addition, Vincent Kompany was extremely angry at the referee, Anthony Taylor, for not giving a penalty after Bruno Guimaraes pushed Lorenz Assignon in the area.

The guests gained an advantage in the match by scoring with their very first attempt when Callum Wilson acted the fastest and managed to put the ball in the net. This happened right after Arijanet Muric, the goalkeeper for the opposing team, blocked Alexander Isak's shot but only managed to deflect it back into a hazardous area on the field.

The players from Eddie Howe's team appeared exceedingly powerful every time they advanced towards the opponent's goal and completely dominated the game by scoring two more goals before the first half ended, which were achieved by Sean Longstaff and Guimaraes with their prime-time finishes.

During the second half of the game, Josh Brownhill grabbed hold of Anthony Gordon's shirt while they were in the box. Despite Isak's penalty being saved by Muric, the Swede was able to score his 20th league goal of the season soon after.

Burnley managed to score a goal close to the end of the game thanks to Dara O'Shea's header, but it didn't change the outcome of the match. Newcastle had a decisive win which pushed them up one spot in the rankings to sixth place, leaving them two points ahead of Manchester United. Manchester United's next game is against Crystal Palace on Monday, with the match starting at 8pm BST.

Burnley Succumb To Defeat At Home

A group of Burnley fans had grown optimistic about their team's chances of avoiding relegation after going on a streak of only one loss in eight games, which brought them within two points of the safe zone.

However, as has been the case numerous times this season, Burnley began the match with a positive performance but failed to score before eventually conceding goals on the opposite side of the field.

Burnley will be facing Tottenham, who are vying for a spot in Europe, next Saturday. They will also be hosting Forest on the last day of the season. However, the task of keeping their survival hopes alive until the very end seems highly improbable at this point.

On Saturday, the Clarets had to secure a victory. If Larsen had succeeded in scoring early on, or if official Taylor had awarded a penalty when Assignon fell in the box, then the outcome could have been altered.

The full-back from France was heavily involved in the game and almost provided his team with the lead. He veered towards his left foot and struck a shot towards Dubravka, the goalie.

Despite the situation, Newcastle remained calm and utilized their sharp and precise tactics to defeat their opponents. This achievement has now placed them as contenders for qualifying for the Europa League in the upcoming season.

Wilson, a forward player, managed to score two goals at Turf Moor and helped Burnley suffer relegation two seasons ago. This time around, he may have also played a part in Burnley's potential relegation by seizing an opportunity and scoring a goal at the 19-minute mark.

Tino Livramento, who played as a full-back, made Muric stretch out completely to make a save. However, the team did not have to wait for an extended period for more goals. Soon after, Longstaff and Guimaraes discovered open areas in the box and efficiently converted their shots into goals.

In the second half, Burnley's performance was extremely poor and brought delight to the enthusiastic visiting fans. Isak took advantage of their poor defense after missing his penalty to become the fifth Newcastle player to score 20 goals in the top division.

Earlier in the season, Newcastle soundly defeated Sheffield United with a score of 8-0. In their recent game, they had the opportunity to do it all over again, but unfortunately, Guimaraes' well-placed shot was deflected by Muric and Gordon narrowly missed the mark with a late attempt.
