Yedlin gets the start. Newcastle just scored off a deflection in the 4th minute. Yedlin has been very active to start. 1-0 Newcastle
9' Yedlin is playing very far up the right channel at times. Also has been pressing high when Burnley plays the ball back.
12' Burnley gets a chance after a cross finds a player splitting Yedlin and Schar. Ball was not controlled well and is out for a goal kick. A little communication breakdown there.
Sounds like he's RWB in a 5. I'm gonna put it on in the BG while I work-ish. What a start for #NUFC - Yedlin's cross was cleared to Kenedy, he shuffled the ball to Fernandez, and he bent home a 20-yard shot via a hefty deflection off Mee. 0-1— Scott Wilson (@Scottwilsonecho) November 26, 2018
23' Clark scores off a cross from Ritchie. Ritchie played it short to Yedlin, who then put the ball in space for the cross. MLS assist on the set play. 2-0 Newcastle
It's off though. They are steering the attack almost exclusively through the right channel with Kenedy and Yeds. Ritchie is not pushing up nearly as far. It's almost like a 4+1. Yeds is playing a free role on the right.
31' Ritche gets the ball in the left channel and switches across the box to Yedlin. Yeds cross is pretty accurate but Rondon isn't able to beat the CBs and then its cleared
Anyway, Rafa is getting some praise for having the right game plan and Yedlin is getting some praise for doing his bit well, so far.
[bungadiri confused] Cher (?) sends a beautiful pass in to Ritchie, who looked like he was dancing on the ceiling[/bconfused]
40' Wow, Vokes flicks a header from 17 yards for a goal. The goal keeper was off the line, but hard to blame him. Exceptional move from Vokes. Burnley pulls one back to make it 2-1 Newcastle.
