Newcastle have qualified to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup after dumping Manchester City out of the competition on Wednesday.
Alexander Isak netted the only goal of the encounter in the 53rd minute to give Newcastle a shock win over a Man City side that dominated possession.
Disciplined but passive in the face of City’s possessional dominance, Eddie Howe’s men were fortunate to still be level after 45 minutes, with Julian Alvarez missing two decent chances.

But the home side deserved their victory thanks to their second-half display, which was full of energy and endeavour and played largely in the face of a City side who could not react.
The only downside for Newcastle, with Paris St-Germain to come on Wednesday in the Champions League after Saturday’s league visit of Burnley, was Isak departing the game on the hour with an injury.
