'I don't know how he missed' Newcastle United fans react to shocking Dwight Gayle miss in FA Cup quarter-final defeat
Newcastle United have been dumped out of the FA Cup following a comfortable 2-0 win for Manchester City at St James’s Park.
Yet it could all have been so different had sub Dwight Gayle not fired an effort over the bar from six-yards out when the game was in the balance, with City leading 1-0 thanks to Kevin De Bruyne’s penalty.
Moments after the miss, Raheem Sterling scored the all-important second.
