However, Burn knows that Arsenal can easily do them over at St. James’ Park.

He told Sky Sports: "Very proud, it was always going to be like that in the second half.

"To a man everyone defended brilliant.

"To get a result here you need to defend set-pieces, but I thought everyone was brilliant.

"We have had a sticky patch, but we have had a few clean sheets in a row.

"Seeing the way we defended in the second half was brilliant.

"It's only a job half done - they have nothing to lose coming to St. James' Park."
