Newcastle United defender Dan Burn has described the feeling of ending the club’s 56-year wait for a major trophy as a “dream” following their 2-1 EFL Cup final win over Liverpool.
Boyhood Newcastle fan Burn, born in Blyth, scored the opener and won Player of the Match, days after being picked in Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad.
“I didn’t want to sleep because I was สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ afraid it was just a dream,” said Dan Burn, who scored the first goal.
“Not bad, I’ve had worse weeks! I didn’t want to sleep because it felt like I was dreaming. “
I knew Alexis (Mac Allister) wasn’t looking so I had a chance to go past him. As soon as I headed it I knew it was going in. I haven’t had many chances so at least I saved it for the big one.
“I felt strange every minute, it’s hard to put into words.”
Swedish striker Alexander Isak, who scored the second, praised his team-mate. “Hands to him (Burn), he’s so good, he’s given us the foundation to perform. “
It’s incredible and this is just the beginning. We’ll see how much more we can do, we all know what it means. “
For us to be able to give that to the fans is amazing. The first half was frustrating for me but I kept telling myself this moment would come. “
When I get my chance I’m going to score. “
When you don’t win a trophy for so long it can be on your mind. Hopefully it’ll be a brighter day.”
