Newcastle fans hilariously interrupted an Arsenal fan channel's post-match broadcast following the Magpies' impressive 2-0 win at the Emirates.
Eddie Howe's side put themselves in a commanding position to reach the Carabao Cup final as goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon sank the Gunners in the first leg of their round of 16 tie.
Jubilant Magpies fans were rewarded for their long journey to north London after a result that had them dreaming of ending the club's 69-year wait for a major trophy.

Newcastle fans packed the post-match broadcast of a popular Arsenal fan channel after their team's shock 2-0 victory over the Gunners.
Eddie Howe's side put themselves in a dominant position to reach the final ahead of next month's second leg.
Gunners boss Arteta praised the Swedish striker's prowess in front of goal after the match.
“The ball came to him, he created and had many important chances,” said the Spaniard. “He was also involved in both goals.
“Unfortunately, both times he had the ball in the box and that's what happens when you have real quality up front and they can make the difference, and they are very clinical.”
The Gunners boss also offered a bizarre explanation for his team's unexpected defeat, which has sparked fears among fans of another trophyless season.
“We also kicked a lot of balls over the crossbar, and it is difficult for these balls to fly a lot, so there are details that we can improve,” he added after the game. “But in the end that's over, there's no turning back, it's about the next game and that's our world, reality.”
When pressed further on the issue, Arteta added: “No, it's just different.” It is very different to the Premier League ball and you have to adapt to that.
“It flies different… when you touch it, the grip is very different too, so you have to adapt to that.”
A Puma ball is used in the Carabao Cup, while a Nike ball is used in the Premier League.
Arsenal will look to overturn their deficit when the teams meet at St James' Park in the second leg on February 5.
