Nowadays there is strength in depth. Maybe not to the degree of some Premier League clubs, but certainly enough to trust the squad players to get us into the fifth round, at least on paper anyway. As Newcastle grew into the game, Wilson got a couple of lucky breaks to escape down the left. He delivered a good ball into the middle which Osula met from the right, playing it into the danger area. Willock shot from four yards out, but the ball was parried by the keeper, it came back to Willock who smashed it over the bar. For a few seconds Willock looked dismayed but then the referee indicated that a goal had been given.
Willock had the ball in the net again not long before half-time. A long ball was headed on which Willock hit against the keeper, the ball bouncing back onto our man and rebounding into the open net, but the flag was rightly up for offside.A deep cross was headed out of the box by Targett but Iwata struck it sweetly, on the second bounce, the ball swerving into the top corner, giving Pope zero chance to avoid the scores levelling up.
Burn also had to go off feeling a strain and both Schar and Willock found themselves clattering into advertising hoardings after unsavoury and unnecessary physicality. Speaking of Joelinton, this was a game made for him as the bully boy Blues continued their intimidation tactics, but it was us who would achieve the actual aim of football and hit the back of the net once more.
