Dan Burn is the unlikely local hero who has put Newcastle United on the edge of glory ✒️ MsiDouglas via iPaperSport
Burn was the most unlikely source but seemed to summon the spirit of his icon Alan Shearer with his finish on the hour mark, placing it beautifully in front of a heaving Gallowgate End in what must rate as an undoubted career high point. It was, incredibly, just his 12th goal in professional football and the knee slide that followed represented the unbridled joy felt by his fellow fans in the stadium.
and a man whose transformation represents the Eddie Howe revolution so succinctly – scored a superb second to ensure there were no late nerves on Tyneside. Newcastle can continue to dream and a place in the last four represents a bit of history. It is 19 years since they played a semi-final on home soil and whoever they draw tomorrow should be braced for a wall of sound.
It may be that the Carabao Cup is on borrowed time as a major trophy but it really, really matters in these parts. And it was no more than Newcastle deserved, having burst out of the traps on their mission to avenge a shock FA Cup defeat at Sheffield Wednesday. On Boxing Day, a rapier start settled the Premier League meeting between these two teams within half an hour. Leicester should have suffered a similar fate here, such was the home side’s relentless early pressure, but Newcastle’s profligacy complicated matters.
