Callum Wilson keeps cool to send Burnley to the Championship: Burnley 1-2 Newcastle United report

Newcastle United sent Burnley crashing into the Sky Bet Championship with a 2-1 away win in Lancashire.

On a day of sheer emotion at Turf Moor, Mike Jackson's troops never looked like taking the points off a determined Newcastle side. And it was Callum Wilson who looked like the coolest player on the field as he slotted home a goal in each half to do the damage for the Clarets.

For months this fixture was talked about as a potential relegation play-off but the reality is Newcastle's safety was in the bag weeks before the last day finale.

United were dealt an early blow when Joelinton went crashing to the turf after an aerial challenge after just eight minutes and needed to be carried off on a stretcher. Within seconds he had been replaced by Jacob Murphy during the intense clash in Lancashire.

The game's first opening came on 15 minutes when Bruno Guimaraes struck a low shot which Nick Pope parried to safety But Newcastle grabbed the need four minutes later.

A ridiculous handball from Nathan Collins resulted in a VAR check before referee Craig Pawson consulted the monitor and pointed to the spot. Wilson stepped up to send England keeper Nick Pope the wrong way.

Burnley had their chances to level with Dwight McNeil presented with the best of them but he sent a shot flying over the bar.

Saint-Maximin should have doubled the Magpies' lead in first half stoppage time but after getting free down the left he could only watch on as Pope palmed away the danger just before the break.

Burnley went in for the interval knowing they were staring the Championship in the face with Leeds level at Brentford. The Clarets threw on Wout Weghorst for Connor Roberts for the second half.
