Review
10 changes for Newcastle gave the idea this is only the EFL cup even though they already lost both games this season. We fought very well, especially when behind and continued to show this season's sprit. Due to new EFL Cup rules, we also had an extra substitution in extra time, and Tyler Walker meant we avoided penalties and gave us our first win at St James Park for 20 years
