Newcastle boss Eddie Howe after the 1-0 win over Wimbledon:

"It is instantly forgettable from our perspective, I don’t think that will live long in the memory.

"But I remember the season when we got to the final, the game against Tranmere, the first game, 1-0 down, that looked a really difficult game. We managed to scrape a victory that day, and it’s those wins that can sometimes create a cup run.

“You have to battle your way through. It’s not always going to be the game that you want it to be. It’s an opportunity for us. We want to stay in the competition as long as we can.

"Job done, we’re through to the next round – that’s the most important thing always in these competitions and these games, a very difficult game tonight.

"But I was frustrated with our attacking play today, especially in the first half."
