Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, speaking after their win: “We didn’t give up. It was a classic FA Cup tie. Extra-time was probably the last thing both managers wanted but the priority was to try and get through.
“It’s important. These months are defined by your professionalism and your will to win. Aaron made big saves for us. Sometimes in a really tight win like this, great things can come.
On Harvey Barnes: “Great performance. Always a scorer of important goals. He thought his second tonight would be the winner but it wasn’t to be. He took a penalty in the shootout.
“Before I make a full assessment, I want to see the game again in a non-emotional state. Bournemouth are never out of a game.
On Tino Livramento’s injury: “It looks serious to a point where he’ll be out for the next game and the games beyond. It looks like a hamstring problem.
“The result just keeps the good feeling going. We want to keep the momentum going into the season. We experienced two semi-finals last season that were incredible.
“I think it’s a great time to be involved with Newcastle. We have the Champions League to come. The will to win has taken us into the latter stages of the League Cup. We have every reason to be enthusiastic about the future.”
