A half-time change that turned the match
Newcastle came from behind to beat West Brom 3-2 in the Round of 64. Isaac Price had put the visitors ahead in the 19th minute, but Harvey Barnes replaced Bazoumana Touré after 46 minutes and scored in the 48th to make it 2-1. His second goal from the bench arrived in the 81st minute and proved to be the winner.
Dedić at the heart of the comeback
Much of the credit belongs to Amar Dedić. The defender supplied the pass for Touré's equaliser in the 38th minute and again for Barnes's winner, and his three key passes were the most of any player on the pitch. Dedić's two assists were joined by Malick Thiaw's, who set up Barnes's first goal in the 48th minute.
West Brom's shots came from the wrong places
West Brom took 12 shots, but eight of them came from outside the box and only three were on target. Newcastle had 11 attempts inside the area and seven on target, which suggests their second-half pressure was reaching better positions. Matt Ingram made four saves and still conceded three.
Barnes restores the lead after the penalty
Price's penalty in the 77th minute made it 2-2, and Newcastle needed only a few minutes to respond. Barnes's goal in the 81st minute turned a level match back into a lead, which is why it was worth +1.1 FN xPts to the hosts. His 48th-minute opener had been worth +0.4.
Player of the match
Amar Dedić 8.7Dominant
Two assists and three key passes meant he was involved in two of Newcastle's three goals.
Dedić earned most of his FN Score through attacking output, but he also won four of six duels and made two tackles. His pass for Touré in the 38th minute restored parity, and his pass for Barnes in the 81st minute put Newcastle back in front for the last time.
