Eddie Howe says he has sympathy for Burnley after relegating them from the top flight. The Magpies boss has transformed United since November but went back to his old club to deal the final fatal blow to their Premier League status.
Speaking after the game, Howe said: “Today was a very, very difficult day for me because obviously I have emotional ties to Burnley, and all my thoughts are with the supporters, players and staff, the directors, it’s a very proud football club and it hurts to see the club being relegated.”
