A first trophy for the Saudi era in 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 scored the only goal of the game (73rd), also marked by a goal denied to Adam Armstrong for a hand control (75th), and the exclusion of Duje Caleta-Car (88th).
The second leg will take place next Tuesday at Newcastle. The other semi-final will be between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, with the first leg on Wednesday evening.
