Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe admits the St James' Park faithful set his side up for another famous win under the lights as the Magpies progressed to the last four of the Carabao Cup. A sold out crowd roared Newcastle on from the outset as another inspired Wor Flags' scarf initiative made for a fantastic atmosphere inside the stadium.
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer and co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi have both since called for club scarves to be a feature at every home game, and Howe is also a big fan of the idea after being wowed by the sea of black and white as he emerged from the tunnel before kick-off.
“When I walked out from the tunnel, you could just see the scarves and the black and white, and what a picture, really," the Newcastle boss told reporters on Tuesday evening. "The stadium for night games is always a thing of beauty, but then you see that atmosphere and the movement of everyone around the stands.
