Newcastle news: Dan Burn's 'faultless' England World Cup appearances
BBC Radio Newcastle's Newcastle United commentator Matthew Raisbeck sung the praises of Magpies defender Dan Burn, who has come on as a late substitute in England's past two matches at the World Cup against Mexico and Norway.
"You could see just before he came on he was ready to do what he did in Mexico and he did it brilliantly with that late header and he celebrates afterwards," Raisbeck said on Total Sport.
"He got up high again and clattered the player. It was a fantastic moment. He has produced two faultless substitute performances for England - it's been great to see.
"Newcastle started the summer with three players in the World Cup squad but Anthony Gordon was sold and Tino Livramento went back injured, so he has been the sole representative for England. He's the final North East player still involved."
England face Argentina in the semi-finals of the World Cup on Wednesday(20:00 BST) and you can watch live on the BBC.
