YOU WONT BELIEVE: Sheffield wednesday 2 1 newcastle united as fa cup interest ended at the first hurdle - You Need To See This

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.
