Newcastle 0 Crystal Palace 0 (NUFC win 3-2 on penalties) - The instant NUFC fan / writer reaction nufc
Penalty shootout – Wood, Trippier, Joelinton score – Botman and Bruno don’tJamie Smith:“Absolutely standard underwhelming league cup tie, as what looked like a perfectly capable starting XI stuttered against a depleted Palace side.
“Thanks to a stunning effort from our outstanding keeper we enter the next round with Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal all gone, as well as a few middling PL teams, not least tonight’s opponents.“It is now ten games unbeaten and seven wins and a draw in the last eight.“Another clean sheet for Nick Pope and he picks up man of the match surely for his penalty heroics.
“Okay, perennial victors Man City are still kicking about but we’ve got a great chance of progressing in this comp.“Alright, there’s a long way to go, but the fact it’s even a consideration is an absolute dream.”“Absolute heroics amid high drama and a glaring miss from Bruno.“Nufc winning on pens – truly a date to make a note of.“But these cup midweek nights can often lack intensity and it’s the players’ credit they stuck in and the penalties lotto was ours for once.
“Nick Pope has been the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this season and he reinforced that view with a couple of smart saves in normal play and three excellent saves in the penalty shootout.”“A disappointing game where none of our starting players showed anything to be in the 11 on Saturday.
“Through to the next round of the cup and leaving with a smile on my face and looking forward already to Saturday :)”
