Stat of the Match

The managers

Sean Dyche: "A lot of the aspects of the performance I was actually pleased of, so it's a frustrating one. But once you give two goals away, it's difficult in the Premier League. Some good stuff, stuff to be pleased of, mentality excellent, but obviously very frustrated with the result of course."

Sean Dyche says he is very frustrated Burnley came away with nothing from their 2-1 defeat to Newcastle, but was pleased with a lot of aspects of their performance.

Rafael Benitez: "When we talk about my future, talk about what can happen, we are talking about the future of Newcastle United Football Club, it's not Rafa Benitez in the end. If we sign the players, I will not take the players home with me, so they will stay there. And if they are good players, they can be the future also. It's a question of wait, go to January and see what we can do, and now is the time to enjoy."

David Ginola says Newcastle must strengthen in the January transfer window to match manager Rafael Benitez's ambitions.

Speculation continues to surround Benitez's future at St James' Park with the Spaniard vocal about Newcastle's lack of spending in the summer. In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, Benitez insisted he was happy about Newcastle, focusing on the coming games and the January transfer window, after which he said his future would be decided.

And Ginola, who was a guest on Monday Night Football, wants Newcastle to back Benitez and give him the "keys to succeed" at the club.

David Ginola reflects on his guilt at failing to deliver the Premier League title for Newcastle's fans in 1995/96.

"He's the main figure for the club," the former Newcastle winger told MNF. "My question is can Newcastle United match his expectation in terms of looking at the future?

"Rafa Benitez is one of the best manager's around and he has proved it many times. Now I'm questioning whether Newcastle are able to match his expectations in terms of the financial aspect of the game. You can invest in two or three great players who could bring the momentum the club needs."
