By our reporter On Aug 26, 2021 0

Newcastle United manager, Steve Bruce, has revealed his side were unlucky in their loss to Burnley on Wednesday.

Toon exited the Carabao Cup at the second-round after losing on penalties to the Clarets, with the game finishing 0-0 after 90 minutes.

“We played very well on the night, I have to say,” Bruce told reporters after the game.

“I can’t really remember my goalkeeper having to make a save.

“We’ve created some great chances and we didn’t take them.

“Unfortunately for us, it proved costly but I couldn’t fault the way we played.

“There were a lot of very good performances out there.”
