Events

Match Events

  • 0' We are underway at St James' Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' Matej Vydra has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 10' The travelling Burnley FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Jamaal Lascelles suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' It’s high time Eddie Howe made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 32' A change in the Burnley FC ranks — Maxwel Cornet exits the field as Matej Vydra enters on 32.
  • 37' Over 37 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 40' Brilliant from the forward! Callum Wilson makes it 1-0 with a superb finish on 40.
  • 45' Connor Roberts is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Burnley FC tonight.
  • 50' Both keepers have barely been tested. Newcastle United FC and Burnley FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 55' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Eddie Howe will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 60' named a earlier, and opted for a in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
  • 65' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 70' Burnley FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 70.
  • 75' A moment of madness from Nathan Collins on 75 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Burnley FC will be frustrated.
  • 75' Time for substitution for Burnley FC. Matthew Lowton is replaced by Connor Roberts.
  • 80' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 81' Burnley FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Jay Rodriguez is hanging Johann Berg Gudmundsson on the field on 81 minute.
  • 85' Fresh legs for Newcastle United FC! Federico Fernandez comes on to replace Miguel Almiron.
  • 87' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Javier Manquillo.
  • 90' Newcastle United FC ring the changes. Allan Saint-Maximin has done his job and it is now time for Jacob Murphy to step up.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-0 draw is a fair result on the day.
