"Lewis Miley's 92nd-minute header sent EFL Cup holders Newcastle United through to the semi-finals of the competition after they downed Fulham 2-1 at St. James' Park. After seeing a shot saved at point-blank range by Benjamin Lecomte barely a minute earlier, Miley dusted himself down to glance Sandro Tonali's corner into the net late on. Earlier, just 10 minutes into his full Newcastle debut, Yoane Wissa finished from close range after Jacob Murphy's cross was parried into his path by visiting goalkeeper Lecomte."
"But even with the introductions of Nick Woltemade, Anthony Elanga and Anthony Gordon, Newcastle struggled to find a way through. That was until young midfielder Miley stepped up in their hour of need. Miley's headed effort all but sealed the deal, but Newcastle hearts were in mouths in the final minute of the six added minutes, with Kenny Tete's strike from distance narrowly missing the top-left corner."
Newcastle United beat Fulham 2-1 at St. James' Park thanks to Lewis Miley's 92nd-minute header from a Sandro Tonali corner. Yoane Wissa opened the scoring early after Benjamin Lecomte parried Jacob Murphy's cross into his path. Sasa Lukic equalised for Fulham with a header from Antonee Robinson's delivery. Newcastle continued to pressure through Bruno Guimaraes and Tino Livramento, with several chances denied by Lecomte and an offside call sparing Joachim Andersen. Substitutions included Nick Woltemade, Anthony Elanga and Anthony Gordon before Miley's late winner. Newcastle registered an xG of 1.54 from 14 shots to Fulham's 0.43 from six.
