Not even an England international, a Spanish La Liga winner was not enough for Newcastle United to keep a clean sheet and score at least one goal against Cambridge United, a third tear team in England. The visiting side managed to win 1-0 at St James Park and knock out the home team, who played with its strongest 11, Kieran Trippier included. And again, a stupid defensive error was enough to seal the game, although it has to be said that the visiting keeper Mitov had a career game and saved two-three must-score chances. Newcastle should have won this 3-1 at least, but who cares, they didn’t!1 – @CambridgeUtdFC’s 1-0 victory at Newcastle today was their first ever away win against a top-flight side in #FACup history. Slayers. #NEWCAM— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) January 8, 2022 Other relegation strugglers were defeated too, as Burnley suffered defeat at home to Huddersfield, who managed to score two quick goals in the 74th and 87th minute on their way to a victory. Watford seems hopeless at the moment, but to be fair, they had the toughest task of them all, as the Hornets were traveling to face Leicester, and surrendered a penalty after only 7 minutes. Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, and Albrighton were the scorers in a game that was stopped at one point, due to floodlight failure.“We’re Leicester City, we’ll play in the dark,” sing the fans after the floodlights fail here at the King Power Stadium.The maintenance team are on the job, it’s said over the PA. pic.twitter.com/hlLsQO6J7D— Jordan Blackwell (@JrdnBlackwell) January 8, 2022 Crystal Palace didn’t have to travel long for the third-round game, as they stayed in London, but had to face a difficult game at Millwall. It seemed tricky when Afobe scored for the home team, but Michael Olise scored an equalizer before assisting Mateta for the complete turnover and a win. At one point, Mateta was hit in the head by a bottle thrown by a Millwall fan while taking a corner, but he just kicked it away and gestured to the crowd, asking them to ‘keep it coming’.FA CUP – Third RoundFridaySwindon Town – Manchester City 1-4 (0-2)/McKidrey 78 – Silva 14, Jesus 28, Gundogan 59, Palmer 82/Saturday15.15: (5.50) Mansfield (3.80) Middlesbrou.
