Brentford 0-0 Leeds, Burnley 0-1 Newcastle, 50 mins
Brentford have come out with a bang with a shot just going wide, they are picking up where they left off in the first 45.
Guimaraes has fouled Tarkowski, the Burnley star remaining on the floor for some time. He seems to be okay and had stayed on the pitch.
Scorelines remain the same in the early stages of this second half.
Kick-off! Burnley 0-1 Newcastle
Action is also back at Turf Moor.
I believe they may have delayed one to make sure they got back underway at the same time.
Updates in these thrillers to come!

Half-time: Brentford 0-0 Leeds, Burnley 0-1 Newcastle
Heading into the matches today Burnley and Leeds United were equal on points but Burnley were ahead on points difference.
Now Wilson has scored for Newcastle and it remains 0-0 for Leeds, it would be Jesse Marsch’s team who remain in the top flight by just one point!
There’s a huge 45 minutes to come.
Half-time: Burnley 0-1 Newcastle
Newcastle almost doubled their lead before the break but Pope was Burnley’s saviour once again.
The visitors have been the stronger side with Burnley only having one good shot at goal through McNeil.
But Newcastle do have the upperhand after Collins handballed. Wilson slotted a fine penalty which means as things stand Leeds will stay in the top flight with Burnley going down by just a point.
Half-time: Brentford 0-0 Leeds
The score reflects how the game has been so far.
There have been chances for both sides but as the half-time drew closer Brentford looked the stronger side. Defensive and midfield errors from Leeds are putting the hosts in great positions.
But as things stand Leeds will be staying up thanks to Newcastle being ahead.
There’s five minutes added in that one after Joelinton’s injury.
Brentford 0-0 Leeds, Burnley 0-1 Newcastle, 43 min
What a hit for Burnley, they were so close to equalising but McNeil’s shot sails over the bar. That was close and it had Dubravka nervous!
This day is far from over but as things stand Burnley are the ones heading to the Championship after Wilson’s penalty. Leeds are playing well against Brentford but it does feel a matter of time before the goals start flowing in that one.
Wissa is the latest to have an attempt, it has been all Brentford in front of goal for the past few minutes.
Brentford 0-0 Leeds, Burnley 0-1 Newcastle, 38 mins
The last few minutes it has been all defence for Burnley as Newcastle go through the gears. The visitors won a free kick but the shot drifts over the head of Burn.
And it remains an even affair at the Community Stadium. Brentford are getting more opportunities but their final touch isn’t coming off at the moment.
The hosts have managed to get a great shot on target there but Raya does well to poke it over the bar.

Firpo shot is way wide, much to the delight and jeers of the Brentford fans.
At the start of these matches Leeds looked to be the more nervous side but they are growing well into this match. Phillips defends a cross well but concedes a throw in. A header comes from Toney but the ball floats across the front of goal.
And while thye have gone behind, Burnley are starting to come to life against Newcastle. The latest chance saw the ball bounce around the box before Trippier headed teh ball calmly to Debravka.

Leeds have looked brighter since that close chance, they are alive! Ball after ball being sent into the box at the moment.
They also may have had a message on the pitch about Burnley’s score which means, as things stand, Leeds will stay in the top flight.
Burnley are also hammering at the door of Newcastle with a corner being sent in but Dubravka deals with the attempt well.
