    Another corner for Newcastle. We know what happened last time...

    Clue: Newcastle scored.

    As a top class keeper Martin Dubravka has to do better with Chris Wood's shot. He's a little bit fortunate it bounced to safety.

    Anyhow will do... Not sure how Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka keeps out a shot from Chris Wood, but he has. Looked like it whacked him in the face like a surprise jab from Anthony Joshua.

    That two hour-plus, 120-mile journey has been worth it so far for the Newcastle fans.

    This is the earliest the Magpies have scored away from home in the Premier League since Yohan Cabaye against Sunderland in October 2012.

    Newcastle bound forward on the counter through Matt Ritchie on the left flank. Ben Mee sticks his head on the ball and this time diverts the danger away from his goal instead of into it.

    Most of the game being played in the Newcastle half, but Burnley still unable to break Newcastle down. The visitors are nice and compact

    Burnley fans are baying for blood as Mohamed Diame steams in late on Jack Cork. They want to see a booking, ref Anthony Taylor says it is nothing more than a foul.

    Interesting stat... no Premier League player has made more tackles in 2018 than Diame.

    David Batty would be proud. If he cared about modern football.

    That's what we expect from Burnley. Get the ball wide and get crosses in.

    I think Newcastle have gone to a five at the back with Matt Ritchie as one wing-back and DeAndre Yedlin as the other.

    Plenty of energy from both sides in a high-tempo start. Burnley probing, Newcastle pressing.

    Matt Lowton suddenly finds himself in acres of space on the right flank, curling in an inviting cross to the far stick.

    Chris Wood lurks but cannot control his half-volley and it sails into the Cricket Field Stand.

    Pretty sure Federico Fernandez won't be picking up a goal bonus in next month's wages. Reckon his sidefooted effort was going wide until Ben Mee stuck his boot in the way.

    The Burnley manager Sean Dyche will be absolutely livid. When you're defending a corner the first thing you're looking for is height and distance.

    Sitting back and attacking on the counter-attack is Rafael Benitez's forte. Newcastle are very adept at defending, Benitez is a superb defensive coach.

    Burnley are getting their foot on the ball and trying to attack Newcastle. A decent response so far...

    Is that shirtless Newcastle fan still around? You know the one - big fella, NUFC tattoo on his stomach. If he is then he'll be bearing all in the away end. The travelling fans, as you will expect, are buzzing.

    Burnley go straight on the hunt for a foothold back in the match. Some aggressive attacking play pins back the visitors but ends when Sam Vokes slips and balloons a 20-yard shot over the bar.

    Federico Fernandez had the shot after a really poor clearance from Chris Wood at the far post. He was just trying to bend it into the far corner and it's a massive deflection off Ben Mee.

    It's an absolutely shocking header from Wood right back into the danger area. It was a tame shot and Joe Hart would have got that.

    GOAL - Burnley 0-1 Newcastlepublished at 4 mins

    Ben Mee (own goal)

    What a start for Newcastle! Federico Fernandez has never scored for Newcastle - and he still might not have.

    But he doesn't care because it is his 20-yard shot which is diverted in off the outstretched left foot of Ben Mee and loops over Joe Hart.

    One for the dubious goals panel....

    Update: Looks like it's going down as a Mee own goal.

    Ouch. Ben Mee gets his bonce in the way of Mo Diame's speculative shot. Better there than the inside of the thigh I'd suggest.

    Corner to Newcastle... danger for Burnley...

    The sort of night where you can see the breath of the players. And the sort of night where I'd be wearing four players and two pairs of socks if I was sat in the stands. Maybe an extra pair of pants.

    Burnley on the front foot... right-back Matt Lowton shanks a deep cross into the away end.

    Referee Anthony Taylor does a quick head count? 1, 2, 3.... 22. All good. A peep of the whistle tells Burnley midfielder Jack Cork to kick off and that's what he does.
