Newport manager Michael Flynn revealed the “fully focused” goalkeeper turned off his phone before the match but asked to leave the ground as soon as the 90 minutes were up.“I don’t know if she’s gone into labour but the way he sprinted off, I’d say there’s a very good chance,” Flynn said.“He did turn off his phone off before the game and he was fully focused.“As soon as the whistle went, he ran up to me and said could he go. I said ‘Of course you can, do you want a lift?’“He sprinted off, it’s the quickest I’ve seen him move, but all our thoughts are with Joe and Lizzy and the arrival of the twins.”Newport secured a fifth-round home tie with Premier League champions Manchester City after second-half goals from Robbie Willmott and Padraig Amond.Robbie Willmott scored a fine solo goal for Newport2
