Dan Burn makes headlines after Newcastle 2 Athletic Bilbao 0.
The big boy from Blyth scored the opening goal.
However, this was not just any goal.
A brilliant set-piece move, with Newcastle United doing everything right.
Thanks to United’s recently appointed coach, Martin Mark.
The players executed the plan to perfection, blocking the Athletic Bilbao defenders and then it all came down to two men.
Could Kieran Trippier put the delivery in the right place. A huge tick.
Could Dan Burn make exactly that delivery? An even more massive tick.
The ball came past and behind Athletic Bilbao’s defense and Dan Burn made the perfect run to get in behind.
Then his Bend it like Burn header was sensational.
The most beautiful goal Dan Burn has ever scored, at least since March 16, 2025.
Honestly, I think this is an even better Dan Burn header than the one against Liverpool at Wembley. Maybe not as important as that goal, but then again, who knows where these last three Champions League points could lead us…
What I do know is that I just can’t stop watching (see below) Dan Burn’s goal from Wednesday night, just watch it from all the different angles below. Nice.
I especially like the reaction of Spain and Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Unai Simon, simply in stunned disbelief.
Dan Burn’s response?
“It was a good header.”
It sums him up: what a player and what a character, what a goalscorer with great goals.
Dan Burn about his goal, in conversation with TNT Sports:
“I’ve been due for a while now.
“When the ball came in, I decided I was going to head it as hard as I could.
“Luckily it went into the far corner, so I was happy with it.
‘We had been working on it.
“We knew we would have some space at the back.
“It was a good header.”
Big Dan Burn heads Newcastle ahead 🔥
What a goal that was 🤩
