Fabian Schar 'hammers' Dan Burn in every Newcastle United set-piece training session because he never scores headers. That is the view of team-mate Sean Longstaff, who agrees the towering defender is better with his feet than his head when it comes to attacking.
Burn has become an indispensable member of Newcastle's defence since rejoining the club in January. The versatile defender initially partnered Schar at centre-back, but has now established himself at left-back following the summer arrival of Sven Botman.
However, Burn is yet to open his account in black-and-white despite his obvious height advantage at set-pieces. The 6ft 7ins defender has come close on several occasions, and remains confident he will net his first Newcastle goal by the end of the season.
