BURNLEY, England (Reuters) - Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce criticised new Premier League referee Tim Robinson after Chris Wood's controversial second-half goal gave Burnley a 1-0 win at Turf Moor on Saturday.

The hosts ended a three-match losing streak in a scrappy game with Wood's header but Bruce felt debutant Robinson's award of the goal showed he was not ready for the top flight.

However, the referee had originally given a goal kick instead of a corner before changing the decision after the intervention of his assistant. "We feel aggrieved that the referee has awarded them a corner after initially giving a goal kick. It looked a foul. I've seen it again -- a clear, blatant foul," said Bruce."Unfortunately that is what we are talking about. We're at the elite level and, for me, the referee looked short. It wasn't just the goal. It's the other ones as well.The victory took Burnley up to 12th on 21 points, one place and a point behind Newcastle.

After Wood's goal, Burnley midfielder Jack Cork came close to doubling the lead when he robbed Sean Longstaff and slalomed into the area, but his low drive was parried out by Martin Dubravka.
