MIGUEL ALMIRON is on the goals trail again and defences should be quaking in their boots.

Because it was on the corresponding weekend 12 months ago that Newcastle's Paraguayan flyer scored twice at Fulham and subsequently found the net in five of the next six games.

And with the leaves falling and nights drawing in, Almiron is in the mood again with two goals inside six days.

Following up his season opener in the 8-0 rout of Sheffield United, he smashed home a 14th-minute thunderbolt from 25 yards after Kieran Trippier had robbed a dawdling Aaron Ramsey.

And Alexander Isak (right) warmed up for the Champions League visit of Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday with a 76thminute penalty following Ameen AlDakhil's foul on Anthony Gordon.

Burnley remain winless but had some encouraging moments.
