Burn 'very proud' after scoring in Newcastle thumping of PSG

Newcastle United defender Dan Burn was delighted with his goal in their victory over Champions League opponents PSG.

Newcastle won 4-1 on a special night for the Toon Army.

Burn later said, "Crazy. It has not sunk in, I am a bit speechless. We wanted to entertain the crowd and get the crowd behind us, but we did well.

"We knew PSG were not going to change the way they play. The times to play high up the pitch and we had the crowd pushing us, we had that for the last goal with the crowd pushing us on for Fabs [Fabian Schar] goal.

"I just try to survive at that apprentice level and you try to work your way up. I was released by Fulham at 25 years old; to comeback and play Champions League football - I am very proud.

"It is like dream I am waiting for someone to wake me up, I am waiting for the bubble to pop. We have a great group and what the gaffer [Eddie Howe] has done with the philosophy we have got."
