LONDON: Aston Villa and Brighton suffered FA Cup embarrassment as the Premier League clubs paid the price for making a raft of team changes in their shock third round exits on Saturday .

Midfielder Arter had only been on the pitch for one minute and 45 seconds before scoring his first goal since November 2017. "Credit to Sheffield Wednesday, they deserve to go through. We huffed and puffed but our second-half performance was disappointing. We need to do better," Potter said.Last season's FA Cup runners-up were three up by half-time at Vicarage Road as Tom Dele-Bashiru, Nathaniel Chalobah and Roberto Pereyra netted.

Magpies boss Steve Bruce had declared his determination not to lose to"bloody Rochdale" as he eyed a sustained Cup run for a club that hasn't won the competition since 1955 and last reached the final in 1999.But Newcastle's FA Cup form is so bad that they have not gone beyond the fourth round for 13 years.

Paraguayan midfielder Almiron opened the scoring with a fierce drive into the top corner from Christian Atsu's 17th minute pass.
