This game is crying out for a creative impact .

Jordan Pickford saves a header from Chris Richards at one end and then almost claims an assist at the other as Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall almost scores after latching onto a pass from the Everton shot-stopper!

Oh dear. Lewis Hall tries to play the ball out to the left and gets it all wrong, passing straight out of play.

Sums up the afternoon, probably.

Hannibal Mejbri breaks into space down the right and squeezes a low cross into the path of Zian Flemming, but Burnley's top-scorer can't quite stretch enough and it goes behind off his heel.

Pretty much an open goal if he'd been able to engineer something on target.

Burnley on the attack with Hannibal creeping into the Villa half and he uses a little bit of skill to get away from Tyrone Mings.

Mings just knew what he was doing, you're getting away from me and I'm just going to bring you down. Classic yellow card. Good card to receive that, wasn't loads of danger but you don't want to take that chance.

Ryan Yates is into the book for a foul on William Osula.

Ollie Watkins is usually the focal point for Aston Villa but he attempts to turn provider this time as he's forced wide. Watkins tries to find Morgan Rogers with a cross to the back post but it's far too high and away for a throw-in.

James Garner nearly beats Dean Henderson with a free-kick from range.

The midfielder used the 'knuckle ball' technique - and it almost found a way past Henderson!

Newcastle have started the second half a lot brighter.

Sandro Tonali takes a dodgy touch after some good play around the box and tries to loft it back in but it's gathered by Matz Sels.

This game has been end to end from the very first whistle.

Palace are unlucky not to be 2-1 ahead as just seconds before Beto's goal, Jorgen Strand Larsen headed over after connecting with Daichi Kamada's cross.

Judging by the first 55 minutes, there should at least be a couple more chances for the home side.

Unai Emery is getting a little animated on the touchline as his side fail to make the most of possession once again.

The Spaniard is waving his arms frantically - not entirely sure what the message was but he's certainly demanding a little more from his side.

Jesus was a bit late. I don't think there was any malice in it and he was genuinely going for the ball, but he does catch him. Hall gets his shoulder to the face.

Igor Jesus is booked for a foul on Lewis Hall.

Bruno Guimaraes goes for goal on the resulting free-kick but can't hit the target.

The first booking of the game is shown in the direction of Tyrone Mings.

Mings makes no attempt to win the ball and brings down Hannibal Mejbri on the halfway line to halt a promising Burnley counter-attack.

Newcastle need more spark up top and some liveliness. I’d be very surprised if Osula and Woltemade stay on for much longer after their first-half showing as they just aren’t clicking.

Woltemade started the season really well, but he’s faded away as the campaign’s gone on. What is he, a number 10? A hold-up player? A number nine? I’m not sure we are any closer to knowing.

If you're not bringing goals in, people start asking questions so it’s going to be interesting to see what the club do in the summer in terms of recruitment. There’s definitely going to be some reshuffling going on amongst that squad.

A scrappy start to the second period.

Zian Flemming gives away a cheap free-kick and then Aston Villa hand the ball straight back via a throw-in after some very loose passing.

And back under way at Turf Moor too.

Can Burnley wrestle back some control?

Off we go with the second half. Some goals please?

Ryan Yates has replaced Nicolas Domínguez.
