“We wanted to score, we wanted to perform and we wanted to win.
“We are breaking new ground, I thought we were magnificent.
“We knew what was at stake today for all of our fans, we wanted to do them proud and win the trophy.
“I am so, so pleased with the result and the performance – we deserved to win today.
“It was tough when Liverpool scored. I was thinking about extra time, we always make it difficult for ourselves it was never going to be 2-0.”
Goal hero Burn is set to join up with England for the first time on Monday.
He admitted: “I don’t want to go to sleep because I feel like I am dreaming.
“As soon as I headed it, I knew it was in. I don’t get many so at least I saved it for a big occasion.
“I feel strange the minute. It is hard to put into words.”
