Burnley 1 Newcastle 4 – Saturday 4 May 3pm

The photo that Newcastle United fans had all really really wanted to see today.

United taking the lead on 19 minutes with some sweet flowing football and never looking back.

By half-time three goals up and cruising.

Critics might say they could and should have doubled that winning margin, as Newcastle carved Burnley open time after time.

However, you’d have to be a harsh critic if not fully enjoying a 4-1 away victory.

Another victory meaning yet another winning snapshot post-match.

Another photo =  The twenty third of this season.

The Newcastle United Head Coach introduced this tradition of a post-match everybody included photo following each victory, as he felt it had worked as a bonding exercise when he was at Bournemouth.

Great to see.

It is also a massive bonus just how much it winds up fans of certain other clubs and journalists.

‘Look at them, think they have won the Premier League / Champions League… etc etc’

I absolutely love it.

Three more games to go and hopefully three more photos!
