From minute one to 90 the Magpies were second best to their second string, second tier opponents and were deservedly dumped out of the competition at the last eight stage.
Few players picked up more than half marks on the evening, but who ranked highest? Here’s our writer’s thoughts...

10. Miguel Almiron - 4
Not a threat before his withdrawal, worryingly out of form. Photo: HANNAH MCKAY
11. Callum Wilson - 5
Along with Fraser he was United's best hope of a breakthrough, didn't see enough of the ball on a night when United were all to often pinned back. Photo: Serena Taylor
12. Dwight Gayle - 5
(for Almiron, 65) Didn't get a sight of goal. Photo: Serena Taylor
