Dan Burn was named man of the match.

A gritty defensive performance as part of a very decent back four display, the big lad from Blyth then scored the second killer goal ([from two yards!) that ended Fulham hopes.

Dan Burn just happy to be into the fifth round and hoping for a kind draw…

Dan Burn speaking after Fulham 0 Newcastle 2:

“It 9winning to go into the fifth round of the FA Cup0 is huge.

“Fair play to the fans.

“To come all this way on a Saturday night.

“We haven’t been great on the road but we wanted to put on a performance for them.

“We are still not firing on all cylinders.

“We are waiting for bodies to come back but you saw glimpses of what we can do tonight.

“It dropped straight at my feet so I had to smash it in [to make it 2-0].

“I would have normally missed it, so I am happy to get it on target.

“It has been such a long time since the club has won something, we have made a big thing over the last two seasons about that.

“We have four games to either get to the final or win it, so let’s see who we get in the next round and hopefully push on.”
