Dan Burn goes WILD in Miami in crunch England role as £185.3m Newcastle truth unfolds

Dan Burn was at it again in an England shirt as he proved to be a crucial cog in the Three Lions' wheel in Miami. Within a few seconds of coming on in the 111th minute, the Blyth warrior was up winning a header after replacing Jude Bellingham. If Bellingham's contributions were crucial at one end, the baton was passed over to the Newcastle centre-back who offered fresh focus and much-needed energy in the sapping Miami heat. Burn then kept his nerve when Jordan Pickford went down in the 116th minute and got the referee's attention to stop play. Having spent the night encouraging his team-mates, helping John Stones with cramp and biding his time to play a part, a lot of little things are adding to be one big thing for the 6ft 7in star. Burn swept into a challenge at the end of the game before roaring to the crowd in celebration, he'd only gone and done it again. First Mexico, then this, another moment is surely in waiting. Burn went wild at the final whistle and helped orchestrate the travelling England fans to another rendition at the World Cup. Things just get better and better for him. As the teatime temperatures in Miami showed no sign of cooling, the heat on Newcastle United this summer is also looking absolutely relentless. A mere 4,343 miles away from the Valley Gardens playing fields in which Geordie boy Elliot Anderson began learning his trade, the England star showed again there is no stage that daunts him. But his sale continues to haunt Newcastle at a time when more stars could be heading out the door, what Newcastle would do to be building a team around the former Academy star boy and Anthony Gordon right now on the back of this World Cup. As England legend David Beckham, suited and booted in an air-conditioned private suite, looked down from the stands, Anderson began the Three Lions' drive towards the semi-finals. Now a fully fledged £116m Manchester City mega signing, Anderson took on the challenge with as much enthusiasm and bite as in Florida as he did playing for Newcastle Under-21s on a chilly night at Port Vale in the Checkatrade Trophy! And as he began connecting and linking up with his old Whitley Lodge Snooker Club partner Anthony Gordon, us Geordies can only wonder how BOTH stars have ended up slipping right through Newcastle's fingers. Whether it's been Financial Fair Play, SCR or PSR, both unpopular sales have simply pushed Newcastle from a Champions League challenging position, right back to square one. And how it's haunting Newcastle whether we like it or not. Gordon and Anderson were the architects for the leveller that hauled England back into the contest at such a great time. Brilliant play down the left as Whitley Bay lad Anderson drove forward and found Anthony Gordon, who crossed into the box for Jude Bellingham before the ex-Borussia Dortmund man arrowed it home. Gordon picked up where he left off after the break when slipping in Harry Kane to earn a free-kick, which sub Eberechi Eze fired into the wall and over. Generational talent Anderson continued to hold the midfield for England after the break, dinking balls over the top and into the box, but also scanning the engine room and looking for space. Gordon's shift was over with 20 minutes left as he was replaced by Reece James, and England reorganised with the Chelsea man slotting into midfield. He'd had 53 touches and grabbed an assist before going off as the heat sapped the life out of some players in Florida. In the 78th minute, Anderson, battling to cope with the intense heat, strived to get on a cross from Bukayo Saka, but it evaded him at the back post. But he would get a second wind and play some sumptuous passes across the pitch in extra time as England regained the lead through Bellingham. As much as we all fill up just like Paul Gascoigne did in Turin back in 1990, the answer remains yes it can. Not only by Anderson, but also by the England talisman Jude Bellingham, who grabbed two goals during rare lapses of concentration from Norway. Like Gazza, you are talking about a national hero who appears to be carrying the dreams of a nation. After a crucial finish after Gordon's assist in the first half, Bellingham pounced like a centre-forward after Morgan Rogers' stinging shot was kept out by Ørjan Nyland. It looked as though Bellingham might get the chance to net a hat-trick after Djed Spence went over in the 99th minute and French official Clément Turpin deemed no foul after a VAR check. Gazza will remain a hero forever, but this story could yet get even bigger than 1990 and the 2018 venture to the last four under Gareth Southgate against Croatia.
