Newcastle United progressed into the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup with a 2-0 victory over Leicester City at St James’ Park.
Dan Burn opened the scoring on the hour-mark - his first goal for his boyhood club - before Joelinton made it 2-0 12 minutes later.
And with that, Eddie Howe’s side secured the club’s first semi-final in 18 years, and the first in the League Cup since 1976.
Our writer Jordan Cronin was at St James’ Park - and here’s how he rated each Newcastle United player:
1. Nick Pope - 7
Routine save to deny Ayoze Perez. Then quick off his line to prevent Patson Daka from going one-v-one. Recorded a seventh consecutive clean sheet without having to do much. | AFP via Getty Images
2. Kieran Trippier - 8
Linked up brilliantly with Almiron. Dangerous from both open play and set pieces. Excellent bit of defending in the first half to prevent Barnes tapping home Daka’s cross. | AFP via Getty Images
3. Fabian Schar - 7
Shaky in the first half but miles better in the second. Strong in the air, bar one moment in the final quarter of an hour, and comfortable in possession. | AFP via Getty Images
4. Sven Botman - 7
Quietly solid. Read the game well, although like Schar, had one moment in the closing stages where Leicester got in behind. | Getty Images
