Newcastle fans were relieved as the full-time whistle blew at Turf Moor as a goalless draw between Burnley and Watford was confirmed.

The Magpies’ main relegation rivals could have arguably asked for the game to be called off a third time, with gale-force winds disrupting the pattern of play throughout.
