Match Preview: Burnley vs Newcastle on 22/5/2022

Burnley were relegated from the Premier League after a 2-1 home defeat by Newcastle United on the final day of the season on Sunday that sent them down to the second division for the first time since 2015.

Leeds United, who were in the drop zone on goal difference heading into the last round of fixtures, remain in the top flight after a 2-1 win at Brentford ensured they finished above Burnley in 17th place.

Follow all the reaction from the relegation battle below.

Reports coming from the Community Stadium that Raphinha is walking the length of the pitch, falling to his knees at the halfway line.

It’s suggested the star could be on his way out this summer and what a way to leave the club if he is. He scored the penalty which put Leeds ahead.

He seems to be falling to the floor a lot on his walk, deliberately.

Leeds players are crying, collapsing on the floor in delight, throwing their shirts to fans and embracing manager Jesse Marsch.

It was an incredible performance after a nervous start from Leeds.

They have gone over to the 2,000 Leeds fans who are celebrating wildly! What an amazing day for Leeds.

You have to feel for Burnley, they weren’t in the relegation zone heading into the final round but Newcastle’s two strikes proved too much.

Burnley have been relegated from the Premier League.

Wilson’s two goals have sunk their ambitions of staying in the top flight as Leeds held out for a draw against Brentford.

There were close calls for Burnley in the closing minutes, knowing they had to score to be in a chance after pulling one back from Cornet.

But Leeds’ penalty, scored by Raphinha, and a late Harrison goal has been enough to keep the side up, despite conceding a late Canos goal.

Leeds are going wild!

Leeds are going absolutely crazy!

A corner ball came in and Brentford defended well but Harrison charged through with a beauty to score

GOAL! Brentford 1-2 Leeds United (Harrison 90+4)

That’s surely it! What a goal to keep his side in the Premier League.

There are four minutes added for Burnley to find an equaliser, while Leeds have five minutes added!

This is going to come down to the wire and I am on the edge of my seat! I don’t know about you!

Burnley fans have their phones gripped to their hands and they have just let out a big sigh of relief as Pope saves them again! A great save from the keeper.

All Burnley need is a goal and they stay up but it is Newcastle who keep coming forward to create chances.

The hosts come close but Dubravka comes through with the save. Time is running out for Burnley here.

What an action packed last few mintues! Canos was booked for his goal celebration, he took his shirt off, and then he is booked again for a foul!

Let’s do the maths from his equaliser though. It sees Leeds a point of Burnley in the table as they are still losing to Newcastle.

If Burnley can find as equaliser they will stay up! They have just had three quick corners but they haven’t taken advantage!

Huge last minutes here.

RED CARD! Brentford 1-1 Leeds (Canos, 80)

Canos made a cracking header to level the scores!

But he has been booked twice in quick succession.

Brentford had just gone down to 10 due to injuries and now they are down to nine!

Sarah Rendell22 May 2022 17:42

GOAL! Brentford 1-1 Leeds Untied (Canos, 78)

Oh wow, now that changes things!
