Dan Burn, a lifelong Newcastle fan, experienced an extraordinary week after scoring the opening goal against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, leading to Newcastle's victory. It marked the club's first trophy in 56 years and showcased Burn's journey from his Blyth roots to earning his first England call-up. Post-match, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe praised Burn's performance, particularly his goal, which was the team's first cup final goal since 1976. Burn himself expressed disbelief at his accomplishments while preparing for England training shortly after celebrating with his teammates. Liverpool's coach provided insights on defensive lapses during the match.
"What a few days for Dan. His performance today was colossal at the back. We were working on those corners tirelessly for two weeks. He's delivered one from long range. Incredible header. So fitting it's him."
"I've had worse weeks. I don't want to go to sleep because I feel like I'm dreaming and it's all going to be a lie. I don't get many so I saved it for a big occasion. I feel strange, I feel numb at the minute."
"We have five players zonally close to our goal. If the ball comes there we have our five strongest players to attack the ball. Normally a player runs to the zone."
