In the early morning of January 9, Beijing time, a match in the third round of the FA Cup, the Premier League upstart Newcastle hosted the League One team Cambridge United. After 90 minutes, Newcastle lost 0-1 and was eliminated, the latter eliminating a top-league team for the first time in the FA Cup.
Newcastle, which currently ranks second-to-last in the Premier League, has attracted much attention this season due to the arrival of Saudi tycoons. After the winter window opened, they finally signed their first new signing, locking england international Trippier in 1800W. In the early hours of the morning, Trippier made his Newcastle debut, but he witnessed the elimination of the team.
In the early morning match with Cambridge United, although Newcastle is not the main starting force, the strength of the team is still far superior to the opponent in theory. However, in the 56th minute of the game, the Newcastle backline was slow to break through, and finally Cambridge United striker Ironside successfully scored to help his team create team history.
After being scored by the opponent, Newcastle immediately replaced himself with his regular main player, but unfortunately never equalized. In the end, Newcastle lost 0-1 to their opponents and were eliminated in the second round of the FA Cup for two consecutive years. Last season, Newcastle was eliminated after losing to Arsenal. This season, Newcastle is a weak team in the third tier. And it is even more embarrassing for the whole Team of Newcastle, the owner of the team with a 320 billion Premier League net worth oversaw the game on the spot, but only saw the elimination, and the club was indeed a foreigner.
In this game, Newcastle had 66% possession and 26 shots on goal. In the main penalty of corner kicks, they also had 12 times. In contrast, Cambridge United's 8-foot shots on goal and 1 corner kick are far behind. But the end of the football field only depends on the post-match score, and Newcastle lost 0-1.
After losing this game, it means that Newcastle has no cup mission this season. Whether it is the League Cup or the FA Cup, they are already out early, and the 2-line collapse. In the previous League Cup, they lost to Burnley in the second round.
For Newcastle, the only remaining task this season is Premier League relegation. At present, Newcastle has only 11 points in 19 league games, which is 2 points away from Watford in the relegation zone. But Newcastle itself has to be vigilant, they are at the bottom of norwich, but also only 1 point, at any time may be overtaken by opponents.
After the early morning match, Newcastle also officially announced the bad news that the team's top scorer Wilson will be absent for at least 8 weeks due to a calf injury. Newcastle officials said Wilson was injured in last year's match against Manchester United and has now been examined to confirm the injury.
The number one shooter was injured, which is definitely worse news for Newcastle. If Newcastle, which has received huge sums of money, can only compete in the Championship, it will definitely disappoint many fans.
