Newcastle United vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

We are nearing the interval, and Kompany will be keen to get his team back to the changing rooms to try and find a way back into this game. The hosts have been by far the better team so far, though their lead remains a slender one.

Yellow Card Louis Jordan Beyer

Burnley's last shot in this game came back in the fourth minute. They have really struggled to create anything of note since Almiron's opening goal.

INCREDIBLE SAVE! Trafford makes a world-class stop to deny Anderson. Longstaff lofts a deep cross to the back post for his fellow Newcastle academy product, and it looks for all the world as if Anderson is going to nod the Magpies two goals ahead. However, Trafford somehow manages to keep it out before his defenders scramble clear.

For a fifth time in their nine Premier League seasons, Burnley have failed to win any of their opening five matches. The only side to do so in more different campaigns in the competition is Newcastle (seven).

Half an hour in and Newcastle have largely been in control. Howe will be keen for a second goal though to tighten his side's grip of the game.

Amdouni is booked after a very late challenge on Almiron.

WHAT A CHANCE! Guimaraes' excellent first-time throughball puts Isak in, but Trafford races out to close him down. The ball comes off the Burnley goalkeeper and loops into the air, and it just will not come down quickly enough for the striker as he ends up flicking wide of the left post.

Newcastle won 8-0 against the Blades in their last Premier League game, their biggest ever away league win and biggest overall since 1999, an 8-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday. They had eight different scorers in the match, a new record by a team in a single Premier League match (excluding own goals).

The Clarets are struggling to get a foothold in this game at the minute, with their hosts looking the much more likely side to grab the second goal of the contest.
