A Callum Wilson double at Turf Moor consigned Burnley to the Championship as Newcastle United’s rise up the Premier League continues.

The frontman netted one from the spot and another at the back post as he took his personal tally to eight goals this season, and United’s points tally to 49.

And having been deep in the relegation mire for much of the season, the Magpies finish the season in 11th place.

Here’s how United head coach Eddie Howe reacted to the result...

“Full credit to my players today for how they attacked the match and managed the game,” Howe said.

“This position here seemed a long way away. I have to compliment the players for how they dug in and united together.

“Great example today right through the team - it was a great performance and they gave their all for the shirt.”
