📸 Newcastle fan gives Port Vale a shock FA Cup lead against Sunderland 😲

Port Vale's Ben Waine may have grown up in New Zealand but he is a Newcastle fan through and through.

And it was evident in his celebration after his shock opener against Sunderland in the FA Cup fifth round clash at Vale Park.

The midfielder reacted quickest to the ball bouncing around the box to loop a fine header over stand-in keeper Melker Ellborg .

Waine then hit an iconic celebration which must have had Black Cats' fans fuming even further.

With Vale bottom of League One and often best known for being the side Robbie Williams supports, this would be a serious cup upset.

Can they hang on in the second half and progress to the quarter-finals?
