Toon ace Burn loves the biggest stages

FROM Blyth to Brent with a few quirky stop-offs in between, it's safe to say that Dan Burn's road to the brink of the World Cup has been an unusual one.

Toon ace Burn loves the biggest stages

The 6ft 7in centre-back turned out for Blyth Spartans, Darlington, Wigan, Yeovil and Brighton, to name a few, before winning his first cap for England at the age of 33.

But the Newcastle defender finds himself in the mind of Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel on merit ahead of the finals and, as the proud owner of four caps, he could be rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest stars in the global game next summer.

The former Asda trolley collector's journey is richly deserved, but after scoring a historic and crucial header at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final last March that rocked Liverpool, the freeman of Northumberland is more than capable of replicating that on the big stage in North America.

STINA TIME KEEPS GUNNS FIRING

ARSENAL cemented their grip on fifth with a comfortable 4-1 win at struggling LEICESTER Alessia Russo and two-goal Stina Blackstenius (inset) stood out in a third straight win for the Gunners. Kelly Gago grabbed a stoppage-time equaliser for EVERTON in an entertaining 3-3 draw at VILLA. France international striker Gago said: “It was great to get two goals and we have to thank the fans for their support.” LIVERPOOL are still searching for their first point after goals from Toko Koga and Bethany England helped fourth-placed TOTTENHAM seal a 2-1 comeback win in a game that had 22 minutes of stoppage time after Reds’ forward Mia Enderby was taken off on a stretcher before going to hospital with a suspected neck injury.
