Trippier delighted for goalscorer Burn as Newcastle defeat Leicester in Carabao Cup QF

Newcastle United fullback Kieran Trippier was delighted for teammate Dan Burn after their Carabao Cup quarterfinal win against Leicester City.

Newcastle's dream season continued as Burn and Joelinton fired them into the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

Trippier said: "Delighted for Burny, he's come close a few times but it was great for him to score at St James'.

"We knew this was important because we went out of the FA Cup, the lads were brilliant tonight.

"The supporters here are brilliant, they follow us in numbers and it's always a great atmosphere at home. We want to make them proud by giving everything on the pitch.

"It would mean everything to win a trophy but we just need to focus on the next game, take it one game at a time and now we look to the Premier League."
