NEWCASTLE UNITED - BLACKBURN ROVERS 2 : 1
Uprkos tome što su igrači Newcastle United-a imali gol zaostatka na poluvremenu, u nastavku igre su skupili snage, volje pa i umeća i sa dva gola preokrenuli rezultat u svoju korist.
Alan Pardew je na St James' Park izveo sledećih XI: Krul, Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Santon, Obertan Abeid, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Ben Arfa, Best.
U prvom poluvremenu totalna dominacija crno-belih. Međutim poveo je Blackburn Rovers 0:1 u 35. minutu preko David Goodwillie-a, koji je zatresao Krul-ovu mrežu iz blizine, posle jednog kornera. Šok na St James' Park-u.
Poluvreme: 0 : 1
U nastavku igre, ključni momenat meča dogodio se u 56. minutu, kada je Pardew iz igre izvadio Obertan-a a u istu uveo Shola Ameobi-a. Črtiri minuta kasnije, iz igre zbog povrede izlazi Simpson, dok u istu ulazi Ryan Taylor.
U 70. minutu, Hatem Ben Arfa je krenuo sa centra igrališta, nanizao četiri-pet igrača Rovers-a, zatim loptu poslao u leve rašlje gola gomana gostiju Bunn-a, za 1:1. Prvi gol na St James' Park-u za Ben Arfa-u i to kakav.
Posle izjednačenja, Newcastle United preko Williamson-a trese prečku gostujućeg gola, dok je Cabaye hvatao prelep volej, ali njih dvojica nisu uspeli da savladaju golmana gostiju Bunn-a.
Gosling u 87. minutu ulazi u igru umesto Abeid-a.
Međutim, u 94. minutu utakmice, Jonas Gutierrez je odigrao dupli pas sa Best-om i mirno prebacio Bunn-a, za 2:1 i za prolaz Newcastle United-a u četvrtu rundu FA Cup-a. Da, Jonas je izvadio spiderman masku i za to dobio žuti karton!!!
Konačan rezultat: 2 : 1

Zanimljiv meč viđen je na St James' Park-u, gde je bolji tim ipak prošao dalje. Hatem Ben Arfa je još jednom pokazao klasu i dokazao da tim koji postigne takav gol, kakav je o postigao mora i da pobedi.
