Darlow tipped substitute Sam Vokes' close-range header onto the bar with five minutes left to play, but the ball rebounded onto the keeper's head and into the net.

Captain Jamaal Lascelles' second-half header from debutant Kenedy's corner looked to have earned Newcastle a first league home win since 21 October.

The impressive Kenedy, signed on loan from Chelsea, also earned the home side a penalty but Burnley keeper Nick Pope saved Joselu's tame effort when the game was goalless.
