Burnley 1-2 Newcastle: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Magpies Hold On for Third Straight League Win

Newcastle recorded their third successive Premier League win, as a Ben Mee own goal and Ciaran Clark header meant out Sam Vokes' strike counted for nothing as the visitors held on to record a 2-1 victory over Burnley on Monday night.

The kick off at Turf Moor was delayed by 30 minutes due to referee assessor Eddie Wolstenholme collapsing before the game. However, despite the delay, fans in attendance didn't have to wait too long for a goal, as a Federico Fernandez strike took a big deflection off Mee, sending the ball out the reach of Joe Hart to give the visitors the lead after just four minutes.
