Newcastle celebrations on hold for England new-boy Burn

Dan Burn has cut short his celebrations of Newcastle's historic League Cup triumph as the defender focuses on his first England call-up.

Burn headed Newcastle's first-half opener in their stunning 4-1 win against Premier League leaders Liverpool in the League Cup final at Wembley on Sunday.

The 32-year-old’s goal helped Newcastle finally end their 56-year trophy drought, setting off wild celebrations at Wembley and back home on Tyneside.

It was the culmination of a remarkable week for Burn, who had received his maiden call-up into the England squad on Friday.

As a boyhood Newcastle fan born just a few miles from the city, Burn could have been forgiven for wanting to make the most of the party that followed the Magpies’ long-awaited success.
