NEWCASTLE BEAT 10-MAN BURNLEY: BRUNO GUIMARAES SCORES DIRECT CORNER
Lucas Pires' red card was costly as Newcastle beat Burnley 2-1. Guimaraes and Gordon delivered again, securing three points before the highly anticipated Sunderland derby next weekend.
Newcastle defeated 10-man Burnley 2-1 at St. James’ Park, with Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon both scoring for the second time in five days.
Guimaraes scored directly from a corner, and Gordon converted a penalty late in the first half. This happened shortly after Lucas Pires was sent off for a foul on Anthony Elanga. It was a tough day for Burnley, though Zian Flemming did score a penalty late in the game.
This win was needed for Newcastle before their Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday and the Sunderland derby next weekend. The game in front of 52,041 fans wasn't always smooth.
Burnley started strong, earning two early corners that Nick Woltemade cleared. Aaron Ramsdale had to make a save in the third minute after Tino Livramento’s clearance bounced off Jacob Bruun Larsen and headed toward the goal.
Lyle Foster sent a long shot over the bar as Burnley kept the pressure on, but Newcastle began to find their rhythm.
Maxime Esteve blocked Woltemade’s shot after a setup by Joe Willock, Guimaraes, and Jacob Ramsey. Elanga then forced Martin Dubravka to make a save in the 16th minute.
Ramsdale looked shaky dealing with set pieces, and Dubravka was relieved when Gordon’s shot hit the post in the 28th minute.
However, Dubravka was beaten three minutes later. He came out but didn't get to Guimaraes’ corner, and the ball sailed into the net.
Guimaraes missed a free kick in the 36th minute after Kyle Walker fouled Gordon, but Malick Thiaw blocked a shot from Bruun Larsen shortly after.
Dubravka then saved Elanga’s shot in the 41st minute after a quick counterattack by Ramsey and Gordon. Elanga’s speed then caused Pires to foul him, resulting in a red card.
Just before halftime, referee Stuart Attwell reviewed a handball and awarded Newcastle a penalty, which Gordon easily converted.
Dubravka later tipped over Guimaraes’ shot, blocked Lewis Hall’s attempt, and saved from his own defender Esteve. Gordon also hit the bar in the 73rd minute.
Burnley got a late goal when Ramsey was called for a handball, and Flemming scored the penalty.
EDDIE HOWE SHUTS DOWN SANDRO TONALI ARSENAL LINKS AS NEWCASTLE STAY FIRM
Eddie Howe speaks out on Sandro Tonali's future at Newcastle United following intense transfer links with Arsenal this window.
Sandro Tonali looks happy at Newcastle, no matter what the transfer deadline rumours tried to stir up. For a little while, talk of him heading to Arsenal got loud enough that Eddie Howe felt the need to step in and set things straight. Newcastle’s manager didn’t dance around it—Tonali’s settled, involved, and locked in. Sure, coaches can’t always kill off all the outside noise, but Howe wanted everyone to know where things stood.
After those stories started swirling, Howe went straight to Tonali for a chat. He gets how fast these things can spiral. Newcastle fans have seen enough drawn-out sagas to know what uncertainty feels like, and nobody wants to go through that again.
Someone asked Howe if he thought there was more behind the rumours. He shrugged it off: “I don’t think so. That would surprise me. But there’s always stuff happening I don’t know about. As far as I see it, we’ve got a top player and a great person on our hands.”
Tonali means more to Newcastle than just his price tag or contract. They brought him in for £55 million, and he’s signed on until 2029, with an extra year option. He’s a key part of their plans, both on the pitch and on the books. Naturally, that kind of player gets attention—especially since Europe isn’t exactly overflowing with elite midfielders.
But Howe really wanted to highlight the human side of it all. “Sandro’s very happy here. He gets on well with everyone, and you can see he’s in a good place. I honestly don’t see a problem. Of course, I can’t control everything. If I knew where all these rumours came from, I’d be smarter. But Sandro’s totally fine. We talked yesterday. He’s focused on what we’re doing right now.”
He wasn’t done: “There’s no issue with Sandro. He’s happy and committed. But let’s be real—our best players are always going to turn heads elsewhere. That’s just football.”
As for the transfer window, Premier League spending rules kept Newcastle’s hands tied. Howe didn’t sugarcoat it: “Financially it wasn’t possible. We’re under restrictions and had hardly any money to use this window, so we’ll wait for the summer when the market opens up and maybe we’ll get better value.”
He admitted the squad’s still a bit lopsided, especially at the back, but he’s convinced that a healthy squad changes things.
For now, Newcastle’s just focused on the essentials. Keeping Tonali happy and at the heart of things matters way more than the latest gossip. His happiness is reassuring for the moment, but as Howe pointed out, nobody really gets to control everything in football these days.
EDDIE HOWE CONFIRMS BRUNO GUIMARAES AND LEWIS MILEY OUT VS CITY
Newcastle face a midfield crisis as Bruno and Miley are ruled out of the Carabao Cup semi-final at Manchester City. Get updates.
Eddie Howe has given the latest on Lewis Miley, Bruno Guimaraes, and Sven Botman as Newcastle United get ready for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final at Manchester City.
It’s another tough night ahead for Newcastle. They’re already two goals down after losing the first leg at St James’ Park, and now they’re missing even more key players. That third Carabao Cup final in four seasons is starting to look like a big ask.
Honestly, the stats aren’t great. Newcastle haven’t scored—let alone won—at Man City since Howe took charge. Their only win at the Etihad came way back in 2014, when Rolando Aarons and Moussa Sissoko got the goals in a 2-0 victory. Seems like a lifetime ago.
Injuries keep piling up. Tino Livramento, Joelinton, Fabian Schar, and Emil Krafth are all out. Bruno Guimaraes sat out the 4-1 loss at Liverpool with an ankle problem, and both Lewis Miley and Sven Botman stayed on the bench as unused subs.
After that Liverpool game, Howe explained the situation. “Sven had a tight thigh, and the advice was not to use him. That’s why he and Lewy were on the bench—we wanted to give them every chance to be fit. Sometimes, you hope something changes in the warm-up, but with such a quick turnaround, you just don’t have time to get all the info you need,” he said.
“With Lewy, he just couldn’t bend his knee enough to be fit.”
Asked about the chances of players returning against Manchester City, Howe said, “Probably our best bets are Sven and Lewy since they were on the bench at Liverpool. For Bruno, I’m not sure—there’s a chance, but the others are definitely out.”
But just before the City game, Howe gave another update. Turns out, both Bruno and Miley are out for this one. “Yeah, Bruno’s doing well, but I don’t think he’ll make this game—maybe the weekend. Sven Botman is okay, but I’m not sure about Lewy either.”
