Bruno Guimarães scores wonder goal as Newcastle beat Burnley | OneFootball

Newcastle United continued their Premier League recovery with a 2-1 victory over 10-man Burnley at St James’ Park, thanks to a spectacular goal from Bruno Guimarães and a penalty from Anthony Gordon.

Guimarães made history by scoring directly from a corner, putting the Magpies ahead early and catching former teammate Martin Dúbravka off guard.

Burnley’s afternoon worsened when Lucas Pires was sent off for a foul on Anthony Elanga, leaving Scott Parker’s side a man down.

In first-half stoppage time, the Magpies capitalised on the advantage when Lesley Ugochukwu handled the ball in the box. Gordon calmly converted the resulting penalty to make it 2-0.

Burnley had a late consolation when Zian Flemming scored a stoppage-time penalty after Jacob Ramsey was penalised for handball, but it was too little, too late.

The win lifts Newcastle to 10th, providing momentum ahead of their Champions League clash against Bayer Leverkusen, while Burnley remain four points from safety, extending their difficult run.
