Newcastle United secured a place in the last-16 of the F.A Cup following a 3-2 win over League One’s Oxford United last night.
Both sides played out a goalless draw at Saint James’ Park last month, and the replay almost went into penalties after the Magpies gave up a two-goal lead.
Sean Longstaff and Joelinton had put Newcastle two-nil up in the opening 30 minutes, but Oxford scored twice in the final 10 minutes of the game, forcing the match into extra-time.
French winger Allan Saint-Maximin saved the day for Steve Bruce’s men with a wonder goal in the 116th minute, and his second goal for Newcastle since arriving in the summer couldn’t have come at a better time.
