Newcastle United 3, Luton Town 1, FA Cup 3rd Round, St James Park, 06-January-18

As Dundee are in their winter shut down, we as a Family decided to have a Family day out in Newcastle and seeing the prices for the game was very good £15 for myself and Son Andrew it was a good opportunity for us to go.



After  30 minutes the game exploded in a glut of Newcastle goals in a nine minute spell .Ayoze Perez pounced on Marek Stech's error for the opener and added a second after Stech had produced a smart save. Jonjo Shelvey extended the lead, side-footing in his first goal since April, but Danny Hylton steered in after half-time, prompting more Luton pressure. Hylton had a second goal ruled out and Elliot Lee also rattled the woodwork.

Luton done very well in the second half and they were a wee bit unlucky as the second goal might have stood as it seemed a tight decision.The Luton  fans made noise than the home fans maybe just expecting a result does this. 


I enjoyed the game and good to see Ex Dee Andrew Shinnie doing well in the game. Afterwards as I checked the scores I had to laugh at the Dabs at Falkirk, The First Divisin is not easy and their fans are now finding that out. They made fun out of us for long enough.
