Yoane Wissa makes up for lost time with first Newcastle goal

Newcastle raced into a two-goal lead in their Premier League visit to Burnley .

Joelinton opened the scoring for Eddie Howe's side inside two minutes at Turf Moor before summer signing Yoane Wissa doubled their tally just four minutes later.

The DR Congo international's early involvement on Tyneside have been heavily disrupted by injury since he sealed a reported £55m move from Brentford.

But in his first Premier League start for the club, Wissa's sharp reflexes to head home the rebound beyond ex-Magpies goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka made up for lost time.
