Newcastle score in 19 seconds, win League Cup shootout

Newcastle scored a goal inside 19 seconds and then won a penalty shootout against Nottingham Forest to advance in the English League Cup.

The match on Wednesday (Thursday AEST) featured a comeback by Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali after a 10-month gambling ban.

Tonali was involved in the build-up to Newcastle’s extremely early goal scored by Joe Willock at the City Ground and played 62 minutes before being substituted, by which time Forest had equalised through Jota Silva.

The second-round game finished 1-1 in regulation time and went to a shootout, during which Newcastle came from behind to win it 4-3 after misses by Ibrahim Sangare and Taiwo Awoniyi for Forest. Sean Longstaff converted the clinching penalty.

In another all-Premier League match-up, Jarrod Bowen unwittingly scored a controversial goal in the 88th minute to earn West Ham a 1-0 home win over Bournemouth.

A shot by Mohammed Kudus appeared to deflect in off the arm of Bowen. The goal was awarded and with no video reviews at this stage of the competition, there was no chance for it to be overturned – much to the annoyance of Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola, who complained to the fourth official in the technical area.

The only shock of the night – indeed, in the whole second round – saw top-flight Ipswich eliminated by fourth-tier AFC Wimbledon, who won a shootout 4-2 after a 2-2 draw.

Southampton needed stoppage-time goals by James Bree and Cameron Archer to beat second-tier Cardiff 5-3 in a wild match, while Wolverhampton defeated second-tier Burnley 2-0 thanks to goals by Goncalo Guedes.

Brentford beat fourth-tier Colchester 1-0 away.
