da fazobetai： Rafael Benitez is on his way to guiding Newcastle United back to the Premier League and he has also ended the club’s long wait for a victory in the FA Cup.Squawka FootballÂhas revealed an astonishing statistic – before tonight, the Magpies last won a match in this competition more than five years ago.
The North-East outfit have struggled to progress in recent years, and they could have suffered a similar fate this time after their third-round clash against Birmingham City ended in a 1-1 draw at St Andrew’s earlier this month.

The replay was held at St James’ Park, and it was he perfect start for Benitez and his men as Matt Ritchie struck from the penalty spot inside the opening 10 minutes.
Yoan Gouffran doubled Newcastle’s lead shortly after the half-hour mark, but the Blues were given a slither of hope when David Cotterill scored with 19 minutes of normal time left on the clock.
Any nerves from the home side were put to bed in stoppage time when Ritchie scored his second of the night.
Benitez’s men will take on Oxford United away in the fourth round.
