Newcastle United edged out Championship side Millwall 1-0 to advance into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
Matthias Jaissle made three changes from Saturday’s 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth in the Premier League as Fabian Schar, Jacob Ramsey and Jacob Murphy came in for Malick Thiaw, Lewis Miley and Anthony Elanga.
The Magpies had 14 efforts at goal in the first half but only registered one on target as Joe Willock stung the palms of former Gateshead loanee Filip Marschall.
It would be Willock who would send United into the next round when he got on the end of Lewis Hall’s low cross in the 81st minute.
