Two minutes left for play and Newcastle are digging in now for the expected Burnley assault.

End to end stuff now. Longstaff mishits his shot and Saint-Maximin's follow-up effort is blocked. The ball is cleared for Vydra who forces Newcastle to concede a corner which is dealt with by Dubravka.

The main man, of that there is no doubt:

If this turnaround is completed, it’s almost certain that Steve Bruce will get the freedom of Chez Bruce for the tactical genius of leaving his best players on the bench, letting the team fall behind, then sending on the best players to turn it around.

GOAL! Burnley 1-2 Newcastle.
Saint-Maximin rifles Newcastle ahead. He picks the ball up 40 yards from goal and Burnley are frightened to death as they back off and back off. He engages Tarkowski in the box, turns onto his left foot and slams a low shot into the corner. What. A Turnaround

SAVE! Dubravka to the rescue again as he tips Lowton's volley from the edge of the box over the bar. It was straight at him, but came through a scrum of players.
2nd Half

We're back underway for the second half at Turf Moor. No changes from either side.
And we'll just leave this here for you to make up your own minds:
A bit of half-time reading:
End of 1st Half
Half time
Burnley 1-0 Newcastle
The Clarets lead at the break and are probably deserving of the advantage, but the talking point was Newcastle not being awarded what looked a clear-cut penalty.
