Dan Burn says the past week has been everything he has dreamed of after lifting the Carabao Cup with Newcastle and receiving his first ever England call up.

The Newcastle defender scored in his side’s 2-1 win over Liverpool at Wembley as the Magpies won their first trophy since 1969.

And Burn struggled to put into words what it meant to win silverware with the club.

“It’s strange. I feel numb at the minute,” he said.

“I really want to feel some emotion but it’s hard, it’s just very surreal.

“It felt a lot different last time (in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester United). It was quite an emotional time last time. This felt more like it was a normal game, business as usual.

“We’ve struggled against Liverpool so much in the past so to perform like that on that stage, granted it wasn’t a great football match, but the most important thing is that we were good in both boxes so yeah, it’s amazing.

“Hopefully it’s the first of many. I didn’t like saying it but it did feel like a bit of a burden with how long it had been.

“I think we felt the pressure but I felt it just took one time to break through that seal and hopefully that’s the start of many.”

The final came just two days after Burn had received his first England call up by new boss Thomas Tuchel, having been named as part of the squad to take on Albania and Latvia in World Cup qualifiers.

“I can’t,” Burn responded when asked if he could sum up his past week. “Honestly, it’s everything that I’ve dreamt of, especially with the England thing.

“I think when you go through so many international breaks and you don’t get that call up you sort of think your time is gone but I’m just very, very thankful that the new manager has given us an opportunity and I just want to grasp it with both hands.

“But I came in the day after and just said to the manager that I wanted to park that because I knew how big this was for everyone associated with Newcastle and I’m just glad we managed to get it done.”
