FA Cup: Sheffield Wednesday shock Newcastle

 Sheffield Wednesday 2 - 1 Newcastle United

07.01.2023 Sheffield Wednesday 2 NUFC 1

League One side Sheffield Wednesday shocked the Premier League's third-placed side Newcastle United.

Josh Windass scored twice in the second half for the Owls as they came out on top in a pulsating tie at Hillsborough.

Substitute Bruno Guimaraes gave Newcastle hope with more than 20 minutes left with a close-range finish but they could not force an equaliser.

This was the first defeat for Eddie Howe's side since 31 August against Liverpool.

Nostalgia and celebration for Sheffield Wednesday

Liam, a Sheffield Wednesday fan, said: "This felt like my club was back. We had some great success in the early 1990s and haven't had a lot since then aside from one season where we reached the Championship play-off final."

Danny is another fan who was at Hillsborough for the match. He added: "Wow, what a night! A good FA Cup run would be a massive boost for the club."

Disappointment for Newcastle and Eddie Howe

The former Newcastle and Sheffield Wednesday player Chris Waddle said: "Newcastle will kick themselves, they had glorious chances and could have put the game to bed but Wednesday stuck at it, rolled their sleeves up and they deserved it."

Eddie Howe also gave his thoughts to the Newcastle United social media account. He believed that his side had the chances to win the match. This was potentially a good opportunity for the club to end their trophy drought so he will be disappointed.

 Manchester United 3 - 3 Coventry City Manchester United won 4-2 on penalties  United somehow progressed to the FA Cup final for the second successive season, following a dramatic semi-final victory over Coventry City. The Reds edged past the Sky Blues on penalties after a crazy and eventful 120 minutes to set up a rematch of last year's final, against Manchester City. Following goals from Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes, United appeared to be in total and complete control. Despite having a few chances, it did look like this was one match too far for Coventry. However, goals Ellis Simms and O'Hare reduced the deficit and made things very nervy for Ten Hag's side. Then in stoppage time, Haji Wright kept his nerve in stoppage time to score from the spot and send the game into extra time. Many Manchester United fans were furious at this point.  Disgraceful performance from #mufc https://t.co/sibOvrXJB0 pic.twitter.com/dPV06sMrkJ — Jay Dee (@JDESFNews)
