Much like when the sides met at St James’s Park in the Premier League, the match ended goalless with both teams struggling to create chances.
The game went straight to penalties where Nick Pope made three saves to see Newcastle through.
Here are the player ratings from the match...
9. Elliot Anderson - 6
Had Newcastle’s first shot of the game after half an hour but it was straight at Sam Johnstone. Headed just wide in the second half. Guilty of trying too hard at times when he could have played it simple at times. Improved slightly in the second half. Booked. Photo: Stu Forster
10. Allan Saint-Maximin - 6
Initially looked a bit rusty on his first start since August but grew into the game and tried to make things happen. Put in a delightful ball for Anderson in the second half. | Getty Images
11. Chris Wood - 5
Had a shot early in the second half but was otherwise quiet until dispatching his penalty. | Getty Images
12. Bruno Guimaraes - 6
Helped Newcastle regain some control in the midfield for the final 25 minutes but couldn’t find the killer pass or shot. Won’t want to see his penalty again. | Getty Images
