There was an air of uncertainty over who would start at left-back for Newcastle United as kick-off loomed on Sunday. Dan Burn, who has been solid for Eddie Howe's side this term, suddenly has to look over his permanently strapped up shoulder after Matt Targett's return to fitness.
The ex-Villa man hardly put a foot wrong in his first months on Tyneside but has had to watch on from the sidelines of late, thanks to injury and Burn's form, as the Blyth-born centre-back made the full-back role his own.
With Adama Traore, the rapid, baby-oiled doused winger, ready to go for Wolves on Sunday, Targett was the better option for a starting place in the eyes of a number of fans. However, just when he needed a solid game, Burn delivered.
