Newcastle come from behind to reach League Cup third round
Winger Harvey Barnes scores a late winner as the Magpies edge past Championship opponents West Bromwich Albion 3-2.
Newcastle United secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over West Bromwich Albion at St James' Park, thanks to Harvey Barnes' brace in the second half. The match saw all three Premier League clubs perform well, with Everton and Tottenham Hotspur also advancing to the third round of the League Cup. Everton thrashed Preston North End 4-0, with Thierno Barry scoring a hat-trick, while Tottenham Hotspur defeated Charlton Athletic 5-1.
Newcastle, the 2025 winners, had gone behind in the 19th minute when Isaac Price scored with a free kick. The Magpies equalized in the 38th minute through Bazoumana Toure, and Barnes scored the third goal just after coming on as a substitute, putting Newcastle ahead in the 48th minute. However, Lewis Hall equalized from the penalty spot in the 76th minute.
Despite hitting the post with his effort to equalize, Barnes sealed the win with his second goal four minutes later. Spanish midfielder Nico Gonzalez was presented to the crowd before the game after completing his £52 million move from Manchester City to St James' Park.
