Ramsdale stars in Toon shoot-out triumph

- BY DAMIAN SPELLMAN

AARON RAMSDALE was Newcastle's hero as they edged past Bournemouth in a penalty shootout to progress to the FA Cup fourth round.

The on-loan Southampton keeper saved from Evanilson, Alex Jimenez and Bafode Diakite to seal a 7-6 shootout win after a pulsating encounter had ended 3-3 on a bitterly cold Tyneside afternoon.

Marcus Tavernier had taken the tie to penalties with an equaliser in the second minute of stoppage time at the end of extra time - seconds after Harvey Barnes thought he had won it for the Magpies.

The hosts led through Barnes’ goal but trailed 2-1 after Alex Scott and David Brooks scored in quick succession before Anthony Gordon’s late spot-kick.
