Fresh off their recent Carabao Cup success, several Newcastle United players took the opportunity to soak up the electric atmosphere at the Premier League Darts in their hometown on Thursday night.
Eddie Howe's men were spotted enjoying a relaxed evening together at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle, with defender Dan Burn and winger Harvey Barnes quickly picked up by Sky Sports cameras as the action unfolded.
The first-team duo weren’t the only Magpies in attendance. Kieran Trippier, John Ruddy, and Matt Targett were also seen among the crowd, as darts prodigy Luke Littler stole the show on stage. The 17-year-old sensation put in another stellar performance, defeating world champion Luke Humphries to claim his fourth Premier League victory of the campaign.
Adding to the lighthearted mood of the evening, Barnes drew laughter from fans and viewers alike by holding up a handmade sign reading, "Follow @BigDanBurn." The Instagram account, which had only posted its first image a day earlier, had already attracted 18,000 followers by Friday morning.
With a big weekend ahead for Newcastle, the night offered a perfect prelude — blending sporting excellence with camaraderie and local pride.
