An afternoon to forget for Burnley women as Newcastle put three past the Clarets in a frustrating match
09.11.26, 08:57
Burnley’s wait for a first WSL 2 win continued as Newcastle United claimed a comfortable 3-0 victory at St James’ Park to leave the Clarets with five defeats from five games.
Kathleen McGovern opened the scoring with a left-footed half-volley from Lois Joel’s delivery before Deanna Cooper turned Beth Lumsden’s cross into her own net to double Newcastle’s advantage before the break.
Emma Siddall fired over as Burnley sought a response early in the second half, but Martha Thomas added Newcastle’s third from close range shortly after the hour.
Injuries compounded the visitors’ difficulties, with Rachel Williams forced off and substitute Charley Docherty’s departure leaving them to finish with 10 players.
