Bentaleb: Newcastle United are not hiding in FA Cup
Nabil Bentaleb has stated Newcastle United are aiming to ‘go as far as they can’ in the FA Cup after a dramatic 3-2 win over Oxford United in their replay fixture.
After playing out a goalless draw in the first-leg, Steve Bruce’s men started Tuesday’s outing on the front foot by taking a 2-0 lead in the opening 45 minutes but the League One outfit fought back after the restart to force the encounter into extra-time.
Newcastle United showed resilience in the additional 30 minutes as Allan Saint-Maximin’s superb solo effort secured the win which powered them into the fifth round for the first time in 14 years.
