Newcastle’s hopes for a League Cup semi-final were ruined

Bruce, who went strong in his selection to start, maxed out his attacking options and finished this one with four strikers on the pitch but it ultimately failed to have the desired effect.

Former Arsenal academy star Josh Dasilva got the only goal of the game, connecting on the volley just after the hour mark to strike past Karl Darlow.

Newcastle’s hopes of ending their 44-year wait for a League Cup semi-final were ruined as Steve Bruce’s side were turned over by Championship hosts Brentford.
