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:

9. Miguel Almiron - 7
Electric in the early stages with his pace causing Leicester all kinds of problems. Skinned Luke Thomas but shot straight at Danny Ward. Excellent pass to assist Joelinton. | Getty Images

10. Joelinton - 9
An absolute workhorse. Covered all kinds of ground. Fully deserved his goal. A cool left-footed finish. | AFP via Getty Images

11. Callum Wilson - 7
Solid shift by the Magpies No.9. Didn’t get his goal but bullied the two Leicester centre-backs. Played a part in Joelinton’s goal. | AFP via Getty Images

12. Alexander Isak (on for Wilson, 76) - 6
Made an impact when he was introduced. Was direct and almost got on the end a couple of balls in behind. | AFP via Getty Images
