Dan Burn's verdict on winning Newcastle United debut and battle with Tyrone Mings

Dan Burn has reflected on Newcastle United's huge win over Aston Villa after playing his part in a clean sheet on his Premier League debut for the club.

Burn was immense in the aerial battles against Villa and with Newcastle now four points above the relegation zone, he admits confidence is flowing again on Tyneside.

The centre-back - who arrived for £13million from Brighton & Hove Albion last month - is hoping to extend the unbeaten run at West Ham next weekend.

Burn said: "It's a massive win and this run and three wins in a row has changed the whole feel around the place.

"Hopefully can keep it going.

"I said when I came here, I just want to keep the team up."

"Kieran Trippier is obviously a very, very good player and an international player who shows his quality."

One of the key battles on the day was between Burn and England defender Tyrone Mings on set-plays.

He said: "I've had a good few battles with Tyrone Mings over years and I enjoy it but yeah, the second half was a bit stop start and too many free-kicks but it doesn’t matter to us."
