i was screaming at the screen like a lunatic when barnes scored his second goal lol 
what a come back for newcastle and they totally deserved it after coming from behind 
bournemouth were so close to taking it home but unfortunately their penalty shootout woes continued 
Newcastle deserved that win so bad! Harvey Barnes is on FIRE 
I was literally on the edge of my seat when he scored his second goal, I thought for sure Bournemouth were gonna take it from there 
But then they just kept pushing and pushing, and those penalties were a total game-changer 
Kudos to Callum Wilson too, what a striker! 
️ bournemouth was so close but unfortunately for them it didnt work out 
still cant believe they dominated possesion for most of the game but just fell short 
anyway congrats to newcastle for pullin off this epic win 
. Can you believe Newcastle is actually in the next round now? 
This is huge for them, hopefully they can keep this momentum going 
. Bournemouth had some great chances too, but their finishing just wasn't there 
. I'm hella hyped for Newcastle now, they're definitely flying high after this win 
then harvey barnes comes in and saves the day with his second goal 
. As for Bournemouth, they'll just have to dust themselves off and try again 
the buildup to the penalty shootout was so tense, both teams were exhausted but still fighting for it 
. Still, what an epic match! 
️. And Callum Wilson's equalizer just before halftime was huge 
. They were the better team on paper, and it would've been easy to predict a Newcastle win if they could've capitalized on their chances 
.
! But what really impressed me was how composed Newcastle stayed under pressure in the penalty shootout 
.
That guy's got some serious skills 
anyways congrats to newcastle for pulling off an epic comeback! now they gotta keep the momentum going 
3-3 at halftime and then it's like nothing matters lol. Newcastle's come back is pure magic 
, i'm still shaking my head thinking about how they did that. Barnes is a legend 
what's up with these penalty shootouts?! it's like the teams can't even finish a game without going to the lottery 
. seriously though, 3-3 at halftime and Bournemouth still manages to blow it? 
. Can't even fault them for being better than us (I mean, who knows when the next loss comes?) 
. And that second half, I thought Bournemouth had it in the bag, but Marcus Tavernier pulled off an incredible goal to level the score again
