'Smash the internet' - Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards do Dan Burn's famous TikTok dance with him

talksport.com, 4 October 2023, 22:15
Dan Burn celebrated winning a Champions League match with Newcastle for the first time - by dancing with Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards.

The defender was on the scoresheet against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night in a moment that he will never forget as a Newcastle fan.

The 6ft7 star netted the second after a lengthy VAR check with St. James' Park sent into a frenzy moments after Miguel Almiron had opened the scoring.

Fellow Geordie Sean Longstaff grabbed the third before Lucas Hernandez got a consolation. Fabian Schar rocketed home a fourth in stoppage time to make it a famous night for the Toon.

And to celebrate, Burn pulled out his iconic dance that went viral earlier this year.

Alongside him on the pitch were CBS Sports pundits Carragher and Richards, who egged on the Newcastle star, who appeared reluctant at first.

As Burn whacked out the noodle dance, Carra and Richards tried to keep up.

But frankly, their efforts were abysmal, as they just flopped their arms about while Burn the master showed them how it was done.

"We are going to smash the internet," Carragher shouted. "TikTok, here we come!"

As Burn went to return to his teammates, the ex-Liverpool star told him: "You knew that was coming!"

Burn's dance first went viral in January 2023 when Eddie Howe urged the 31-year-old to get up and do it in the dressing room.

It spread quickly, largely down to the fact that such a tall man could pull off such a move.

That came about after Newcastle reached the Carabao Cup final last season, a competition they would go on to lose.

But their sights might be set a little higher now after beating one of the biggest teams in the world in PSG at St. James' Park and they will fear no one in Europe now.

Burn said: "Crazy. It has not sunk in, I am a bit speechless. We wanted to entertain the crowd and get the crowd behind us, but we did well.

"We knew PSG were not going to change the way they play.

"The times to play high up the pitch and we had the crowd pushing us, we had that for the last goal with the crowd pushing us on for Fabs [Fabian Schar] goal.

"It is like dream I am waiting for someone to wake me up, I am waiting for the bubble to pop.

"We have a great group and what the gaffer [Eddie Howe] has done with the philosophy we have got."
