Newcastle (England), Sep 30 (AP) Miguel Almiron and Alexander Isak scored as Newcastle secured its third straight Premier League win by beating Burnley 2-0 on Saturday.

Burnley, meanwhile, is still waiting for its first win in the Premier League after earning promotion back to the top flight last season.

Almiron's second goal in a week set Newcastle up for a third successive win in the league — including an 8-0 rout at Sheffield United — after losing three of its first four games at the start of the campaign.

His 14th-minute strike was followed by Isak's penalty in the 76th at St. James' Park.

But, for the efforts of Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford and some sub-standard finishing, the margin of Newcastle's victory might have been even bigger.

Trafford was beaten after Kieran Trippier dispossessed Aaron Ramsey and Almiron cut inside to curl a shot across the 'keeper.

Newcastle was given the chance to double its lead when Anthony Gordon was brought down by Ameed Al-Dakhil.
