Burnley 1-4 Newcastle: Vincent Kompany's side move closer to relegation with chastening home defeat

A nightmare afternoon for Burnley left them five points adrift of Premier League safety as a 4-1 hammering by Newcastle coupled with Nottingham Forest's win edged them towards relegation. The Clarets began Saturday with an outside hope of ending the day outside the relegation zone, but now must win both their remaining games and hope results elsewhere go their way to avoid the drop, following Forest's 3-1 victory at already-relegated Sheffield United. Burnley even began brightly at Turf Moor, with Lorenz Assignon a particular danger.
