Accustomed to seeing other teammates’ celebrations, Dan Burn scored on Tuesday his first goal in two seasons to unlock a draw against Leicester (2-0 after Joelinton also scored) and qualify Newcastle (3rd in the Premier) to the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup, the English League Cup.
The defense in the box led by Eddie Howe did not distinguish itself throughout his career for scoring multiple goals. In fact, only two, the Brighton signings, appear in their statistics for the last five courses.
However, Burn appeared when his team needed someone capable of breaking a tie. where both teams seemed destined for extra time. The clash, which was level until the second period, was surely spoiled by the brief appearance of Burn, who after sixty minutes came in like an exhalation on the left wing to finish his foray with an unwelcome right hand opener the door to victory for his team.
Joelinton, the man in charge of helping Burn with the first goal, joined the party a few minutes later. The Brazilian player did not waste the services of Miguel Almirón and sentenced the clash to the last part of the rivalry.
The 2-0 final left Newcastle on the brink of a historic record. They have only played in one League Cup final in their entire history. He lost it against Manchester City in the 1975-76 season. Almost five decades have passed since that meeting and Howe’s men, having sunk in a superb season, will not want to miss out on a unique opportunity.
