Dan Burn has admitted it was a dream come true to score at St James’ Park. The big Geordie netted on the hour to help settle an intense quarter-final in the League Cup in front of a packed house.
And he made his way over to them to celebrate after breaking the deadlock in a 2-0 win.
Burn told Sky Sports after the game: “I used to sit in the East Stand you always want to score in front of the Gallowgate end, to do that in front of my family was amazing. I like to get forward and it's entertaining watching a guy my size running into the box.
