Newcastle edged out Bournemouth in a thrilling 3-3 draw that sent the Magpies crashing through to the FA Cup fourth round. The match featured an instant classic, with six goals, four lead changes, and 45 shots in the 120-minute affair.
The drama began when Evanilson gave Bournemouth the lead within five minutes of kick-off after Enes Unal's knockdown, but Djordje Petrovic clung on to deny Yoane Wissa a chance to equalise. The visitors took full advantage when Alex Scott tapped home Evanilson's cross, and there was more to come as David Brooks curled a fine shot past Aaron Ramsdale from the rebound.
However, Harvey Barnes' clever flick found Nick Woltemade, who slid the ball past Petrovic. Bournemouth should have been level within two minutes when Tino Livramento tried to pick out Malick Thiaw with a ball across his own penalty area but found Evanilson instead of Evanilson was grateful to see Ramsdale come to his rescue.
The Magpies equalised through Anthony Gordon's injury-time penalty, sending the match into extra-time after Sven Botman had headed back Sandro Tonali's corner off the underside of the bar. The drama continued when Barnes headed home a deep cross from Gordon, but Marcus Tavernier ensured it went to penalties with the game's sixth goal.
In the shootout that followed, Ramsdale produced penalty heroics, saving three spot kicks from Evanilson, Alex Jimenez and Bafode Diakite, sending St James' Park into raptures. The result sends Newcastle into the FA Cup fourth round along with five other Premier League sides after holders Crystal Palace were knocked out by Macclesfield in the biggest upset in FA Cup history earlier on.

3-3 draw is insane, i need to watch it again 
the pace of that game was so high i'm surprised noone got hurt 
did you see enes unal's knockdown that led to evanilson's goal ? 
also ramsdale's penalty saves are mental 
6 goals and 45 shots, this is what fa cups all about 
and then Anthony Gordon scores in injury time to make it 2-2... I love how Sven Botman headed that corner off the bar though 
, would've been so easy for them if he didn't do that. And then the shootout, Ramsdale is like a wall 
, saving three penalties and sending Newcastle through to the next round 
. This match was an instant classic, I'm so glad I got to watch it 
! Anyway, congrats to Newcastle for making it through to the next round, but I'm still not convinced this was a fair result 
anyways, that penalty shootout drama? 
At least Ramsdale saved some crucial penalties, though - that guy's got skills! 
! As for Newcastle, they'll be disappointed not to take the win but an FA Cup quarter-final spot is still a great achievement 
!
but at the end of the day newcastle deserved that draw, they showed so much heart 
and harvey barnes is literally a genius 
can't wait for the fa cup fourth round 
bournemouth had some great chances but ramsdale came up big in the end 
. I'm just glad that Ramsdale was able to save the day in the shootout
