Newcastle scored two goals in extra time to defeat Blackburn in their FA Cup third-round replay at Ewood Park.
Sean Longstaff scored after a minute for the visitors with a deflected 25-yard shot, before Callum Roberts added the second with a fine volley.
But Adam Armstrong pulled one back from Danny Graham’s pass and Darragh Lenihan’s powerful header made it 2-2.
In extra time, Joselu scored from a rebound and Ayoze Perez’s powerful strike sealed the win for the visitors.
Spanish striker Joselu appeared to be slightly offside for the goal that made it 3-2, as he reacted quickest after Blackburn keeper David Raya had spilled Fabian Schar’s long-range shot.
Newcastle’s win was their first in seven games in all competitions, since a 1-0 Premier League victory at Huddersfield on 15 December, and they will play Watford at home in the fourth round on 26 January.
It is also only the sixth time they have won an FA Cup tie since Mike Ashley became the owner of the club in 2007.
