Martin Dubravka helped out his old club as Newcastle United beat Burnley to return to winning ways.
The Magpies finally have their second away win in the Premier League this season, with Newcastle United beating Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor.
The scoreline does not tell the whole story. It was an uncomfortable evening for Newcastle United, who spent the majority of the game defending after two early goals from Joelinton and Yoane Wissa.
Bruno Guimaraes put the result beyond doubt in stoppage time with an impressive strike from distance, but it would not have been possible had it not been for his former teammate Martin Dubravka.
Who was your MOTM against Burnley?!
Feel free to name your worst player too š
Newcastle United fans thank Martin Dubravka
The Slovakian was involved in a mix-up with Hjalmar Ekdal, as both Burnley players failed to deal with Sandro Tonaliās pass in behind.
A slack touch from Dubravka fell into Guimaraesā path, with the Newcastle United captain shooting from distance to make it 3-1 and ensure his side would return to Tyneside with three points.
It was a crushing moment for Dubravka, who was cheekily serenaded by the travelling Newcastle United fans behind him after his blunder.
Minutes after his mistake during Newcastleās win over Burnley, the Toon Army sang: āMartin Dubravka, heās one of our own.ā
The 36-year-old had inadvertently helped his former club, as Eddie Howeās side climb into the top half of the Premier League thanks to their victory against Burnley.
Give us your three-word review to that then! š
An away win at lastā¦
Iāll go first: āNot very goodā
Martin Dubravka fails to show Newcastle United what they are missing
Newcastle United have had goalkeeper problems this season. Nick Pope has been guilty of some high profile errors, while Aaron Ramsdale was disappointing during his spell in the starting XI.
All the while, Dubravka has been rolling back the years for Burnley. He has been excellent since joining the Clarets, with some Toon supporters pondering whether letting him go was a mistake.
However, Dubravka has failed to prove that to Eddie Howe during his two appearances against Newcastle United. The Magpies have done the double over Burnley, whose quest to avoid relegation from the Premier League feels likely to be in vain.
