Thomas Tuchel on the ‘Magic’ of the FA Cup

Newcastle United suffered an embarrassing FA Cup third round exit at the hands of Cambridge United.

It ensured a debut to forget for United’s Kieran Trippier after his £12million transfer from Atletico Madrid.

The League One side belied the 41-place gap between the two teams as Joe Ironside swept home after Newcastle defenders failed to clear their lines.

Try as they might, Newcastle just could not find a way past Dimitar Mitov in the U’s goal.

Trippier’s inclusion just a day after completing his move to St James’ Park failed to give the hosts the necessary fillip they required, as Cambridge held on for the shock of the day.
