Vote for your Newcastle United Player of the Match vs Fulham | OneFootball

The Magpies needed no added motivation heading into this one following Sunday's defeat - and due the fact a place in the semi-final was up for grabs.

Eddie Howe's side therefore wasted little time getting going, with summer signing Yoane Wissa - on his first start for the club - tapping home from close range in the 10th minute.

Newcastle's lead would only last six minutes as Saša Lukić headed beyond Aaron Ramsdale in front of the Gallowgate End.

The next goal wouldn't arrive until second-half stoppage time, with local hero Lewis Miley rising highest to head home a Sandro Tonali corner. The youngster looked right at home throughout the clash, despite being used as a right-back for the entirety of the tie.

In the middle of the park, Bruno Guimarães ran the show with some smart passing and plenty of ground covered.

Meanwhile, Malick Thiaw, who has been one of the standout players of the season, enjoyed yet another solid showing at the back.
