- Burnley played with ten men for more than half the match after Lucas Pires was sent off for tripping Anthony Elanga when through on goal.
- A VAR review punished Jacob Ramsey for handball at a late corner, allowing Zian Flemming to pull one back from the spot before he headed wide deep into stoppage time.
- Howe called the finale "uncomfortable" and said Newcastle must improve their game management, even as the result made it 10 points from their last four league games.
