"Aaron Ramsdale saved penalties from Evanilson, Alex Jimenez and Bafode Diakite to deny his former club a place in the fourth round, as Newcastle won 7-6 in a shoot-out. That came after a topsy-turvy 3-3 draw that saw Anthony Gordon force extra time with a 95th-minute penalty, before Marcus Tavernier took the tie to spot-kicks with a 122nd-minute equaliser of his own."
""The players have worked far harder than we wanted them to with extra-time, especially with Tuesday in mind," Howe said after Saturday's game. "But the priority was to try to get through and to stay in the competition, and we've managed that, so we're very pleased. "Now we've got to count the cost of it, really, and try to regroup and try to get the players fresh for Tuesday.""
Newcastle advanced after a 3-3 draw and a 7-6 penalty shoot-out win over Bournemouth, with Aaron Ramsdale saving penalties from Evanilson, Alex Jimenez and Bafode Diakite. Anthony Gordon forced extra time with a 95th-minute penalty and Marcus Tavernier levelled in the 122nd minute to send the tie to spot-kicks. Newcastle reached at least the fourth round of the FA Cup in three consecutive seasons. The squad faces a quick turnaround for the EFL Cup semi-final first leg against Manchester City on Tuesday, with the second leg at the Etihad on February 4. Tino Livramento suffered an apparent hamstring injury, while Dan Burn, Fabian Schar and Anthony Elanga remain sidelined. Bournemouth played their first match since the reported £65m sale of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City, and the Ghanaian scored on his debut for his new club as they crushed Exeter City 10-1.
