Much-changed Newcastle dumped out of FA Cup by third-tier Sheffield Wednesday

SHEFFIELD: Even having club soccer’s richest owners cannot improve Newcastle’s pitiful record in the FA Cup.
Newcastle were humbled by a lower-league opponent in the third round of the famous old competition for the second straight year, losing at third-tier Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 on Saturday.
At the same stage last year, Newcastle were beaten at home by another third-tier club, Cambridge United. Yet the northeast team were still in the early days of the new era then.
