BURNLEY, England - Alexander Isak scored his 20th Premier League goal of the season as Newcastle United moved into sixth place in the standings with a comprehensive 4-1 victory at Burnley on Saturday which left the hosts on the brink of relegation. Burnley scored a late consolation through Dara O'Shea but are five points from safety with two games left and could have their relegation confirmed when they travel to Tottenham Hotspur next Saturday. Newcastle were awarded a penalty five minutes into the second period when Gordon was hauled down in the box by Josh Brownhill. But three minutes later Isak did find the back of the net with the Burnley defence in disarray, rifling the ball into the top corner. I don't think we lacked opportunities to be dangerous ourselves, we just couldn't match Newcastle in most areas of the pitch," Burnley manager Vincent Kompany said.
