Amanda Staveley issues 23-word Newcastle United message after Burnley win
Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley has reacted to the club’s 4-1 victory at Burnley.
Eddie Howe’s side strengthened their European qualification bid by moving up to sixth in the Premier League table. Goals from Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes put United 3-0 up at half-time before Alexander Isak added a fourth moments after missing a penalty.

“We’ve got three games to go and we want to try and give our best in each game,” said Howe. “We want to try and play with the energy and intensity we had today. I thought we looked really good physically with a lot of pace in our team.
“We’ve got those key qualities to give any team a difficult afternoon. Our away form has been inconsistent, it’s really good to see us win on the road in such an impressive way.”
And taking to Instagram after the game, Staveley revealed her pride at the result. She said: “A huge congratulations to @nufc on today’s performance. What an outstanding match - I’m so proud of each and every member of this Club 🖤🤍”
