Newcastle United survived a scare against struggling Burnley to end 2025 with a rare away win. It took Joelinton only 65 seconds to open the scoring at Turf Moor as the Brazilian got ahead of Burnley defender Hjalmar Ekdal to connect with Anthony Gordon's deflected cross and hook the ball into the net. Yoane Wissa then doubled his side's advantage from close range following a goalmouth scramble after Kyle Walker cleared the forward's initial effort off the line.
But spirited Burnley rallied and defender Josh Laurent pulled one back with a volley at the back post after Armando Broja flicked the ball on to his unmarked team-mate. Although Newcastle had a string of chances to quickly restore their two-goal lead, Wissa headed wide from Bruno Guimaraes' corner while Harvey Barnes was denied by Martin Dubravka when the former Newcastle goalkeeper rushed off his line.
The game became increasingly frenetic and Newcastle were a little relieved to go into half-time in front after defender Fabian Schar cleared Marcus Edwards' effort off the line.
Burnley grew in belief after the break and Nick Pope made a big save to keep out Edwards' shot with his leg, and the returning Newcastle goalkeeper also went on to claw away Lucas Pires' goal-bound cross.
Burnley then came mightily close to equalising when Laurent's header cannoned off the crossbar. But Newcastle captain Guimaraes sealed the win late on following a mix-up at the back as the visitors recorded just a second away league win since mid-April to move up to 10th. Burnley remain six points from safety in 19th.
