Newcastle United ensured their name is in the hat for the Carabao Cup quarter final draw thanks to a one-goal victory at a bitterly cold St James’ Park. An Adam Smith own goal was all it took to separate the sides on Tyneside, as Newcastle returned from the break with a victory, one that takes them one step closer to an elusive trophy.
