WATCH: Newcastle winger Ritchie admits 'how did I miss that?'

Newcastle United winger Matt Ritchie is trying to live down an amazing miss in victory at Burnley last night.

Ritchie smashed wide from just two yards when it looked easier to score during the 2-1 win at Turf Moor.

The 29-year-old said: "I honestly don’t know. I thought I had scored to be honest.

"I was probably celebrating before I put it in the net. Hopefully it doesn’t make Premier League misses!"
