Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 Newcastle United as FA Cup interest ended at the first hurdle

Newcastle United suffered FA Cup disappointment at the hands of League One side Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

The result will be a painful one for United and Eddie Howe's backroom team but they have just a couple of days to lift themselves for their League Cup quarter-final against Leicester City with one road to Wembley still open. However, they had no answer to the 28-year-old former Wigan and Rangers star Josh Windass who helped himself to a second half brace.

At 2-0 up it looked like the game was up for Newcastle but sub Bruno Guimaraes' goal from the bench suggested a fightback was on the cards. However, a missed opportunity from Chris Wood - who scooped over - proved to be costly and Sheff Wed bagged a place in the last 32.
