Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has heaped praise on "deep thinker" Jacob Murphy after his role in the Magpies' big win over Burnley. Howe told Chronicle Live: "Jacob is such a reliable player for us. At Burnley, he had quite a big job on his hands tactically as we asked him to do something slightly different. Howe said: "The whole team was set up differently because that's how we felt we needed to play against Burnley, we felt it was the right way. It doesn't always work like that but it did on Saturday and I was delighted to get four goals."
