Rafael Benitez Manager of Newcastle United shows appreciation to the fans after the Premier League match between Stoke City and Newcastle United at Bet365 Stadium

Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez was pleased with their 3-1 FA Cup win over Luton Town.

"I said in the news conference we wanted to approach the game with a strong team to make sure we were going through", said Benitez.

Newcastle had a third goal in the final minutes of the first half, as Jonjo Shelvey struck the ball into the back of the net from just outside the penalty area.

Hylton thought he had netted his 18th goal of the season to close the gap further, but a late offside flag kept allowed Newcastle to see the game out safely.

"We did it and the fans enjoyed a good game, an emotional game".

"We were excellent second half, but when we have given ourselves such a mountain to climb first half with three poor goals, really poor goals from our point of view, then that's the hard thing and that's the tinge of disappointment we have".

The visitors then hit back in the second period, with Danny Hylton pulling one back early on, while he had another goal wrongly disallowed, with Elliot Lee hitting the bar as well.

"In the second half we needed more experience to manage these games".

Benitez, who replaced skipper Jamaal Lascelles before the break as a precaution after he complained of discomfort in his adductor muscle, was satisfied with the Magpies' opening 45 minutes, but less so with their second-half showing.

"The first goal absolutely out of nothing, no problem, big error and then we're in possession and we give the ball away twice, JJ (James Justin) overhits it to Pelly, bang they're in and they score and then Pelly gives it away, and that's the margin when you come up against these big sides".

But Newcastle's first half goals turned out to be enough and it lead to the League Two leaders heading out of the competition against their Premier League opponents.
