Newcastle United defender Dan Burn was full of pride after their Carabao Cup quarterfinal win against Leicester City.

Burn struck for the 2-0 triumph on Tuesday night.

He later said: "I used to sit in the East Stand you always want to score in front of the Gallowgate end, to do that in front of my family was amazing.

"I like to get forward and it's entertaining watching a guy my size running into the box.

"It was excitement before the game. The gaffer made a big thing of going for a trophy this season, in previous years staying in the league was enough, but this year we want a cup.

"The fans deserve it and we want to deliver.

"When I first came here I thought it might be quite down, that's how it has been when I've been at other clubs who were in a relegation battle, but it's a great group of lads that we've brought in and we all complement each other.

"Sometimes you can get used to winning and that defeat the other day gave us the shock we needed."
