Jaissle, appointed to replace cup-winning boss Eddie Howe in pre-season, is yet to taste defeat in competitive action with Newcastle, and that run continued thanks to a 1-0 third-round success.

Joe Willock's 81st-minute goal proved enough for the Magpies.

Newcastle had been fortunate to see Tairyk Arconte strike the post at the other end moments before Willock turned in Lewis Hall's cross.

Willock's belated breakthrough strike allowed Jaissle to reflect fondly on his first trip to Millwall, against which Newcastle had not played since 1993.

"I love it. Honestly, I love it," the former Al-Ahli coach said. "Just coming out there on an evening match, that atmosphere, it's something you dream about, honestly. It's a privilege."

"We're really happy with the start so far," Jaissle said. "I think we've showed unity on the pitch, off the pitch already after such a short amount of time.

"We're realistic. We take it now, we're really happy, we're grateful for the start, and now already the focus is towards Leeds."
