REPORT: Newcastle Utd 0 Burnley 0
The Clarets extended their unbeaten Premier League run to six games as goalkeeper Nick Pope racked up another clean sheet in front of watching England boss Gareth Southgate.
In truth, Pope has had more demanding games in reaching 11 shut-outs for the season – the highest figure in the top tier.
But he was still a model of calmness and serenity as he stood tall to extend Newcastle’s goal drought and make it three games without defeat on the road for the Clarets, who moved up to ninth in the table.
The big ‘leap’ to 40 points didn’t quite materalise on the year’s extra day.
