Newcastle avoids another upset in FA Cup

BLACKBURN, England (AP) — Newcastle avoided becoming the latest Premier League team to be upset by lower-league opposition in the FA Cup by beating second-tier Blackburn 4-2 after extra time in a third-round replay on Tuesday.
Spanish forwards Joselu and Ayoze Perez scored in extra time to earn Newcastle only a fifth victory in the competition in the past 11 seasons.
With the northeast team currently fighting a relegation battle in the Premier League, the win might not be entirely welcomed
