Rio Ferdinand lauds lifelong Newcastle fan Dan Burn's 'phenomenal story' after the defender scored the Magpies' second goal in their dream start against PSG

Rio Ferdinand has lumped praise on lifelong Newcastle fan Dan Burn after he rose high to score a brilliant header during Newcastle's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

Miguel Almiron sent the Newcastle faithful into delirium after he struck home after 17 minutes, with Burn following up just before half-time, giving Eddie Howe's side a 2-0 lead heading into the break.

The goal was sent for a VAR review, but after a long time the referee pointed to the centre-circle, with Burn wheeling away in eccstacy having scored for his boyhood club.
