Park.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Ironside scored the only goal 11 minutes into the second half as he swivelled to fire home from close range after a goalmouth scramble.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It panned out how I dreamed about it last night,&#8221; said Ironside who grew up idolising Newcastle&#8217;s record goalscorer Alan Shearer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iframeWrapper\"><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;Shearer was my hero,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Now I have scored the winner at St James&#8217; Park.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle had two goals ruled out and Joelinton was thwarted by a great save by Dimitar Mitov deep into stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p>But they were shown no mercy by the disgruntled home fans at full-time as they now have to lift themselves to try and remain in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The size of the task remains what it is, I just hope the game doesn&#8217;t damage our players&#8217; confidence,&#8221; said Newcastle manager Eddie Howe.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think there was anything wrong with our attitude, we just couldn&#8217;t deliver the quality to score.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong id=\"strong-bcb244299aa53328c30f762d85e61b33\">Non-league delight<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sixth-tier Kidderminster overcame the 79 places separating them from Reading in the English football pyramid to beat the Championship side 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>George Puscas put the Royals ahead at the Aggborough Stadium, but Sam Austin levelled before Amari Morgan-Smith struck the winner eight minutes from time.<\/p>\n<p>The full-time whistle sparked a pitch invasion from fans of both sides with some angry Reading fans confronting their own manager Veljko Paunovic.<\/p>\n<p>Boreham Wood also upset a side two divisions above them with a 2-0 win over AFC Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>Goals from Tyrone Marsh and Adrian Clifton either side of half-time took the National League side into the fourth round for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Holders Leicester saw off an injury crisis and a power cut at the King Power to thrash Watford 4-1 with Youri Tielemans, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Marc Albrighton on target.<\/p>\n<p>Crystal Palace came from behind to beat Millwall 2-1 in a South London derby marred by the home fans booing when the Eagles took a knee before kick-off.<\/p>\n<p>The gesture takes place before every Premier League game, but Millwall stopped doing so over a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We as a football club are against any kind of discrimination and of course this is not something we want to see on the field,&#8221; said Palace manager Patrick Vieira.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton also had to come from a goal down to beat Championship opposition as they saw off West Brom 2-1 after extra-time.<\/p>\n<p>Brentford thrashed Port Vale 4-1, but Burnley were the first top-flight side to bow out after a 2-1 home defeat to Huddersfield.<\/p>\n<p>Barnsley needed extra-time to see off Barrow 5-4 after blowing a 2-0 lead against 10 men.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors equalised three times in the final 12 minutes to force the game to an extra 30 minutes before Carlton Morris&#8217;
