Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor insists that he is "devastated" to be knocked out of the FA Cup after losing 2-1 to Cardiff City in the third round.

Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor has admitted that he is "devastated" to be knocked out of the FA Cup.

The Magpies suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Cardiff City in their third-round tie, despite taking the lead in the game against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

"It's a killer blow. We understand. Listen, this competition is massive and people don't realise how big this competition is," Taylor told reporters. "Even from a young lad, come the FA Cup, this is what you want to be in and to try to win.

"But the last three years just haven't been good enough. We just need more belief. This is the third year on the trot for us - that's got to hurt.

"We didn't deserve to win. Maybe for 20 minutes in the first half, we played well and possibly 10 in the second half when we had a good little stint but they just wanted it that bit more. We didn't deal with the set-plays and, at the end of the day, that has cost us the game. I am just devastated we lost."

Newcastle face Manchester City in the Premier League next Sunday.
