Newcastle have now taken nine points from their past three games to leave Burnley looking over their shoulder at signs of improvement in the sides below them.The Clarets need to stop leaking goals before they can form any mid-table designs of their own.

Upfield for an early corner, Federico Fernández tried his luck with a shot when the chance came his way and Ben Mee’s attempt to get in the way only succeeded in sending the ball beyond Joe Hart’s reach. It was a debatable own goal because the initial attempt looked on target, but the goalkeeper probably had the shot covered before the Burnley captain’s intervention.  Chris Wood had the best couple of chances as Burnley attempted to get back level. He could not keep his shot down from the first one, failing to properly get hold of a raking ball from Matt Lowton that picked him out at the far post, though did much better from a lot further out with his next effort, producing a stinging 30-yard shot that almost caught Martin Dubravka by surprise in the Newcastle goal.  Just as Burnley were enjoying more of the game, however, Newcastle delighted their vociferous support by scoring again.  Goals have not been plentiful for them this season and even the most rabid Newcastle fans would have been expecting a Rafa Benítez side to sit on an early lead, at least until half-time, but midway through the first half the visitors again took advantage of hesitant defending at a corner. Matt Ritchie played a one-two with Ki Sung-yueng at the set piece, before sending over a cross from the right that Ciaran Clark reached ahead of Mee to glance a header into Hart’s bottom corner. Both captains were therefore on the scoresheet before the half-hour stage, unfortunately for Mee and Burnley both in the same net.  Defensive solidarity used to be a plank of Burnley’s survival platform, they would not allow opponents many scoring opportunities and worked on being well-drilled at dead ball situations. Not so this season. They have been conceding goals at a rate of slightly more than two per game, and without making Newcastle work particularly hard put themselves at the same disadvantage with barely a quarter of the match gone.  It says so
