Eddie Howe branded Newcastle players “fantastic” for reaching their first cup semi final in 18 years - and made goalscorer Dan Burn dance in the dressing room!
Burn netted his first Newcastle goal, and Joelinton clinched the game as United progressed to their first semi since the FA Cup in 2005. Howe told his players their achievement so far was fantastic, and Burn was then asked to do his speciality knee wobbling dance as he told his stars to enjoy the moment.
Howe said: “We are delighted. It was what we wanted, the semi final. The performance level was excellent from start to finish and we created lots of chances. Great performance. It was a brilliant moment for Dan Burn to score. A betting man would not put their money on Dan Burn’s right foot but what a finish! It is moments like that make football.
