League Cup: Newcastle before an option

A first trophy for the Saudi Newcastle? The Magpies took a step towards the final of the League Cup, after their success on the ground of Southampton (0-1) in the semi-final first leg.

It was Joelinton who wrote the only but of the meeting (73rd), also scored with a but denied to Adam Armstrong for a control of the hand (75th), and the exclusion of Duje Caleta-Car (88th).

The second leg will take place next Tuesday at Newcastle. The other semi-final will oppose Nottingham Forest to Manchester United, with the game of all Wednesday evening.
