The Eddie Howe-managed side were unbeaten in 15 matches until Josh Windass's twin strike changed their fate. After playing out a stalemate in the first half, Windass broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute and later doubled the lead in the 65th. Though Newcastle managed to reduce the deficit by one goal four minutes later, they could not better it, exiting the competition. "It was a disappointing result for us. We are aware that we don't have the deepest squad of any team in the Premier League," Howe said after the match.
