Two Newcastle players in Williams' underrated XI of the season
As the dust settles on this Premier League campaign, we asked former England international Fara Williams for her underrated XI for the selected two players who have represented Newcastle this BurnThere are players around Dan Burn in the Newcastle squad who are more glamourous and will be spoken about far more than he is. But, there are very few, if any, that the fans love more. I think he gets close to a best Premier League XI this season which seems crazy given when many would not have believed he would still even be at the club at this stage in their knows his role and place in Eddie Howe's side perfectly and is one of the most consistent and committed performers in the league. He knows his limitations as well so adjusts position to minimise the risk of him being run at with space behind him. His goal in the Carabao Cup final will be one of the defining moments of this English football season for Murphy I heard early on this season Newcastle fans on the radio saying Murphy is a player that's not good enough to play in this team if they are to achieve big things.A player of his ability can go one way or the other - they can get found out and struggle to play for the team again or they really lift their levels and show that they have the capabilities to step up into the has certainly been able to do that and the relationship he's got with Alexander Isak has been one of the reasons why Newcastle have gone on the run that secured a Champions League spot. His assist record this year has been seriously impressive and he's added some key goals to that as Williams was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward

'I am happy that we get the derbies back'
Newcastle defender Dan Burn says he is excited about the Tyne-Wear derby next season and is hoping to face the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League after the Magpies secured fifth spot in the Premier League. Asked who his dream opponents would be this time around, Burn said: "I want to play against the best teams, so I'd love to play against Real Madrid, Barcelona. That's why you want to play Champions League football - it'll be exciting. "It'll be good to even see Sunderland getting back to the Premier League. It's such a weird thing because I'm really excited about it. "I shouldn't be, but those were the games when I was a kid. The derby days were the first fixtures I'd look for when they came out, so I wouldn't say that I'm happy for them coming up but I am happy that we get the derbies back." Sunderland will play in the top flight for the first time since the 2016-17 season after coming from behind to beat Sheffield United 2-1 in the Championship play-off final. While Burn is excited to have those derbies back, he believes Newcastle can push on further next season. He said: "I don't think we're far away from sort of challenging at the top. The gaffer has mentioned that we've not strengthened in the last few seasons, so it will probably be a big summer to add players and keep it fresh. "It's probably just going to be that change of mentality where we really get that belief that we should be up there. "It would be great to have a good Champions League run and I'm sure that he would love to win another cup. I feel like now that we've won that first cup, it's broken the seal a bit and now we feel like we can really do that again."

Newcastle's Dan Burn: I'll spend summer dreaming of Real, Barca and derbies
Boyhood Newcastle fan Burn, who scored the opening goal in the club's Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool at Wembley in March, has a second Champions League campaign in three years to look forward after Eddie Howe's men secured a fifth-placed Premier League finish, if ultimately by the skin of their teeth. The 33-year-old, who last week signed a one-year contract extension, also found the back of the net in a famous 4-1 win over Paris St Germain in October 2023 and is hungry for more. Newcastle defender Dan Burn is already looking forward to next season's Premier League derbies against Sunderland (John Walton/PA) Asked who his dream opponents would be this time around, Burn said: 'I want to play against the best teams, so I'd love to play against Madrid, Barcelona. That's why you want to play Champions League football – it'll be exciting. 'It'll be good to even see Sunderland getting back to the Premier League. It's such a weird thing because I'm really excited about it. 'I shouldn't be, but those were the games when I was a kid. The derby days were the first fixtures I'd look for when they came out, so I wouldn't say that I'm happy for them coming up, but I am happy that we get the derbies back.' Newcastle's derby rivals secured their return to the top-flight by beating Sheffield United at Wembley in a dramatic finish to Saturday's Sky Bet Championship play-off final. Twenty-four hours later, there was a tense conclusion at St James' Park too as the Magpies rather fluffed their lines on a day when victory would have secured their passage, and had to rely on helping hands from Manchester United and Chelsea to fend off Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest after a 1-0 defeat by Everton, courtesy of Charly Alcaraz's 65th-minute header. That was just reward for a season which started indifferently, but gathered pace and for Burn, who will now head off on England duty, it is only a start.
