    Burnley 1-0 Newcastle

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle manager Steve Bruce speaking to Sky Sports: "The referee, it was his first game, and unfortunately it looked like it."

    On Burnley's goal: "He's [referee Tim Robinson] yards away, we thought he blew for a foul. Unfortunately I think he's found it difficult today from the very first whistle.

    "It's a foul. It's a push in the back and it's decided the game. If it decides the game it's a big call. There were too many mistakes and he's made a rod for his own back.

    "We knew what to expect, especially on a day like today it wasn't going to be the prettiest."

  3. 'We did the right things'published at 17:15 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2019

    Burnley

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche speaking to Match of the day: "We've had a tough week with three losses in the week. Against two top sides we didn't perform as we can do. We've got a tight win today.

    "Chris Wood has been ill for a few days and he stuck at it. We have a tight group here. I was really pleased with the mentality today. I'm pleased with the performance but I'm most pleased with the result today.

    "It was a tight, awkward game today but we've done the right things and come out on top."

    "David McGoldrick has been amazing for us. I am sure his goal will come but he keeps creating chances.

    "We just keeping take each games as they come."

    How can Villa fans defend Smith? Drops players who get goals, persists with poor tactics & players. Waits too long for subs. He's clueless.

    Norwich City

    Norwich goalscorer Teemu Pukki: "I am happy. Leicester is a hard place to come to and they have been on an amazing run.

    "I am happy to be back scoring again. We have been getting points lately but now we need to start winning games."

    Oscar Hewitt: No creativity what so ever for Chelsea. Major surgery needed in January.

    Chelsea have Barcelona confidence when they're in possession, but championship confidence off the ball. Frustrating.

    They're still playing at the King Power Stadium, where Leicester look set to concede points to Liverpool in the title race.

    Can either side find a valuable late winner? Not long to go...

    Deep into injury-time at Turf Moor, and it looks like Burnley will do the business and end a run of three straight defeats.

    Caglar Soyuncu to the rescue!

    Christoph Zimmermann directs a corner goal-bound with a header at the back post, which travels back across Kasper Schmeichel but Soyuncu is there on the line to smash the ball to safety.

    Ben: Where is the Chelsea that won six in a row earlier this year? Not enough chances for us today, and FAR too many chances given to Bournemouth. Simply not good enough, especially at home. Disappointing.

    Jeff Wah: If you can’t trust Lampard to beat a below-strength Bournemouth, can you really trust him with the transfer budget...?

    Chelsea 0-1 Bournemouth

    Five minutes of added time are shown on the fourth official's board. There's a roar of encouragement from the home fans but a few nervous faces in the away end.

    The hosts need a goal otherwise they are heading to a fourth defeat in five games.
