Newcastle’s Sean Longstaff giving his post match reaction to Sky Sports: “Massive result for us and hopefully one that kickstarts our season.
“I love working with the manager every day. We want to be tough to beat this year and we got a good result tonight, we want to kick on.
“It is massive. There’s no European football this year so the cup competitions will play a massive part in our season. We want to go as far as we can.
“A home tie would not go amiss! Fingers crossed.”
