Watch the brief action from St James’ Park…
City travelled to the north east looking to mount a challenge for the ninth Carabao Cup of our history with a Third Round tie with Newcastle.
Despite a positive first half where we looked most likely to score with the impressive Oscar Bobb pulling the strings in midfield, it was the hosts who broke the deadlock after the interval.
Fast out the traps, Joelinton drove into the box and drilled a precise ball across the face of goal which found Alexander Isak who controlled well and fired into an empty net.
And, unfortunately, the goal we craved just evaded us on a frustrating night with Rico Lewis and Jack Grealish coming close in the closing stages.
