Ruthless Newcastle pushed Burnley closer to the Premier League trapdoor with a 4-1 rout at Turf Moor that boosts their Europa League hopes.
It was a crushing afternoon for Burnley as Nottingham Forest's 3-1 win at Sheffield United left them five points from safety with only two left to play - a trip to Tottenham next week before Forest visit on the final day.
And it was the same old story. Vincent Kompany's men began brightly and created a string of chances in the first 15 minutes but Callum Wilson scored from Newcastle's first real attack 19 minutes in before goals from Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes put the game beyond doubt before half time.
