(CRIENGLISH.com) Newcastle United snatched a 2-0 victory over minor league Yeading and champions Arsenal came from behind to beat Stoke City 2-1 in the FA Cup third round matches.

    Newcastle needed second-half goals from Lee Bowyer and Shola Ameobi to end Yeading's fairytale FA Cup run at Loftus Road on Sunday.

    A shock was on the cards at Highbury when Arsenal went behind to a Wayne Thomas strike for the second division side just before halftime.

    Arsenal's equalizer came from Spanish forward Jose Antonio Reyes on 50 minutes but Stoke hit the woodwork and had another effort cleared off the line before Dutchman Robin van Persie fired home their winner in the 70th minute.
