Dan Burn finger: The story behind Newcastle defender's missing digit

Dan Burn was at the centre of two big moments during Chelsea’s last-gasp 1-0 victory over Newcastle on Sunday.

The Newcastle defender, signed from Brighton for £13 million in January, was on the receiving end of a Kai Havertz elbow in the first half. The Chelsea star inadvertently landed a hefty blow to Burn’s face, leaving him with blood pouring from a nasty gash.

Havertz was booked for his elbow but he can consider himself very fortunate not to have been sent off.

After being cleaned up, Burn continued the rest of the match as Newcastle attempted to get a positive result in their bid to survive relegation.

However, in the 89th-minute, there was heartbreak for Eddie Howe’s men – and Burn was at fault.

Jorginho played a floated ball into the box that Burn completely misjudged, allowing Havertz the opportunity to control the ball and fire past Martin Dubravka.
