Fans on social media feel Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka was off his line when he brilliantly saved Blackburn Rovers captain Dominic Hyam’s penalty kick during their FA Cup match on Tuesday night.

After canceling out the Magpies’ late opening goal in the 79th minute, the hosts forced the fifth round tie into a penalty shootout for a position in the competition’s quarter-finals after neither team could break the deadlock in extra time.

Blackburn regained their footing after Dubravka stopped Sammie Szmodics’ first kick when Aynsley Pears raced into action to block Harvey Barnes’ attempt, but the Newcastle ‘keeper dived low again to keep out Hyam’s final shot and eliminate the home side.
