Not even millions prevented Newcastle’s failure in the FA Cup: they were eliminated by Sheffield Wednesday

Current third in the Premier League, Newcastle was surprised this Saturday in the third round of the FA Cup by the historic third division Sheffield Wednesday, who won 2-1.

With high ambitions after being acquired by a Saudi sovereign wealth fund before the start of the season, the Magpies have experienced their first major disappointment against a League One team.

Forward Josh Windass scored a double (52 and 65) and even came close to a hat-trick, with a long free-kick that hit the crossbar a quarter of an hour from time.

The players led by Eddie Howe had cut the gap at minute 68, when a corner kick taken by Kieran Trippier was deflected by Chris Wood at the near post and Brazilian Bruno Guimaraes, who had come on eight minutes earlier, scored.

In London, a goal from his reference Harry Kane allowed Tottenham (1-0) to defeat Portsmouth (3rd category).

The Italian coach of Tottenham Antonio Conte renewed his usual eleven, although he kept his stars, Kane and Son Heung-min, up front.

The first of them unbalanced the balance at the start of the second half (50) by receiving on the edge of the area and finding a precise shot behind a wall.

Kane, author of four goals in four games after the failed penalty that meant England’s elimination in the World Cup quarterfinals against France, has 265 with Spurs, just one behind the record held by Jimmy Greaves.

“It was a tough game, we were the clear favorites and probably people were expecting a thrashing, but you have to give them credit, they stayed compact and it was tough,” Kane told the BBC.

Regarding the record, the 29-year-old striker said he tries “not to think” about it.

“Sometimes you think too much, it’s clear that I feel in good shape. But my goal is to help the team and hopefully the goals will come”, he added.

Leicester, champion in 2021, overcame a trap (1-0) against Gillingham (4th).

At the Foxes, their coach Brendan Rodgers made several changes after suffering the third consecutive defeat in the Premier this week.

Jamie Vardy was in his eleven and the veteran striker responded by passing the ball so that Nigerian Kelechi Iheanacho scored the only goal of the match (56).

Worse was on Saturday for the first two, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, who were eliminated by lower-class teams.

Nottingham fell 4-1 to Blackpool, 22nd in the second division and who had gone nine games without winning, while Bournemouth were surprised at home (4-2) by second-tier leader Burnley, where they play after being relegated at the end of the last course.

Furthermore, Crystal Palace, last year’s semifinalist, fell 2-1 at home against Southampton, who came back from behind the initial goal for the locals.

In another ‘Premier duel’, Manchester United beat Everton 3-1 on Friday. The matches on Saturday are closed by Liverpol hosting Wolverhampton. (D)
