Newcastle 0-1 Cambridge United: Joe Ironside seals famous victory for League One side as they stun Eddie Howe's men in front of a sold-out St James' Park to deliver Kieran Trippier a debut to forget

Cambridge United match-winner Joe Ironside used to idolise Alan Shearer and would travel up from his native Middlesbrough to St James' Park to watch his hero. Either of those strikers - the lower-league journeyman or long-retired club legend - would be better than what Newcastle have in attack right now.

Take nothing away from Mark Bonner's League One side. They were excellent and deserved what should rank as a genuine FA Cup upset, given the hosts named their strongest available XI - including £12million debutant Kieran Trippier - and were backed by a sell-out crowd including chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan, governor of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund.
