Burnley suffer Premier League relegation after 2-1 defeat at home to Newcastle on final day

Hope and despair. It’s what makes this final day of the season so compelling. Burnley fans went through plenty of both emotions at Turf Moor before their club’s six-year stay in the Premier League ended in tears.

Two down to Newcastle before the hour mark, they were on a knife-edge here but all was not lost. Brentford rallied against Leeds, then Maxwel Cornet pulled a goal back for Burnley.

No sooner had referee Craig Pawson blown the final whistle in Lancashire, though, than news came through that Jack Harrison had scored an injury-time winner for Leeds.

The Burnley players sank to their haunches as the reality of relegation sank in.
