Burnley vs Newcastle United History

When these clubs first shared a pitch, it was the First Round of the FA Cup back in 1895. Newcastle United were the victors at St. James’ Park, by two goals to one.

The first league fixture between Burnley and Newcastle came in 1897, in the old Second Division, and the following year they met in the English top flight for the first time.

Burnley were a founder member of the Football League in 1888, although Newcastle Utd have been the more successful club between the two in terms of silverware.

The Tyneside outfit won the First Division for a fourth time in 1927, by which time Burnley had only once been champions of England. The Magpies enjoyed their most productive spell during the 1950s, with three FA Cup titles.

These teams have shared more than 110 meetings over the years, with the majority of those having come in the top division of the English football pyramid.

Among their most significant clashes is the FA Cup semi-final of 1974, in which Newcastle won by two goals to zero. They later lost to Liverpool at Wembley, as Kevin Keegan scored twice in a 3-0 victory for the Reds.

There are a few players who have represented both Burnley and Newcastle Utd, particularly in recent years.

• In 2022, England goalkeeper Nick Pope moved directly from Burnley to Newcastle in a deal worth in the region of £10m. This came 6 months after New Zealand striker Chris Wood had moved in the same direction, for a reported £25m transfer fee.

• Having initially joined Manchester City as a junior, Kieran Trippier moved to Burnley on loan before completing a permanent switch to Turf Moor in 2012. The England right-back signed for Newcastle in early 2022, following spells with Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid.

Burnley vs Newcastle United Head-to-Head

These teams met in the 2014/15 Premier League season and thus contested a top-flight fixture for the first time in almost four decades. They played out a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor, followed by a thrilling six-goal stalemate in the reverse fixture.

In December 2019, Chris Wood scored the only goal in a slender win for the Clarets over the Magpies.

This fixture occurred on the final day of the 2021/22 Premier League campaign. Callum Wilson scored twice in a 2-1 win for the visitors, which confirmed Burnley’s relegation to the EFL Championship.
