Newcastle United have been knocked out of the FA Cup by League One side Sheffield Wednesday...
The South Yorkshire outfit scored twice in 14 minutes to pull off a major shock to knock Newcastle out of the FA Cup 12 months on from their defeat against Cambridge United.
Eddie Howe wanted to progress as he brought on his big guns to try and save the game, but with a Carabao Cup quarter-final to come on Tuesday and a Premier League top four race to contend with, their demise here might not be such a bad thing in the bigger picture. The Magpies created an overlap down the right and Javier Manquillo’s cross was begging to be put away by the Sweden striker, but he put his header too close to Dawson, who clawed it away.
Newcastle had further chances soon after the restart as Mark McGuinness did brilliantly to block Chris Wood’s effort and then Sven Botman drilled wide from distance.Some superb play by George Byers opened the pitch up and, after working the ball out to the right, Windass was on hand to turn Dennis Adeniran’s cross home from close range.
He was played in by Michael Smith and made no mistake, firing past Martin Dubravka to send Hillsborough wild.
