Newcastle recorded their 15th win of the season, in what was their 27th game.
This is the quickest they’ve reached 15 victories in a single season as a top-flight club since 2001-02 (24th game).
A club on an upwards trajectory (again).

It's special that Sean Longstaff got the goals tonight and with Burn playing too, there is a connection with this club.
Not a single Newcastle fan in this city will want to be anywhere but Wembley when this final takes place.

What a brilliant moment for these fans. They've waited so long.
It's a glorious night for them, although it wasn't a glorious performance. Sometimes you just have to get over the line and over the tie they have deserved it.

MBoyerUSA: Yellow for me. Both going for the ball. Bruno goes in with toes and he risks injury to his ankle (rolling). Looked nasty but I say yellow.
Guimaraes got what he long deserved. He is a thug. He got away with it at St Mary's as did Pope when he clattered Djenepo out of the game.

If Isak has gone down complaining of anything to do with his head he should go off the field now and shouldn't be let back on.
The referee has told Eddie Howe he won't start the game until you get that player off the field.
Well done referee, that's spot on.
