CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK:
Newcastle beat
Fulham and yet the remedy felt only partial‚ for it will take more than stitches to soothe the wounds of Sunday's derby defeat at
Sunderland. Maybe they will have to retain the
Carabao Cup for the healing process to feel complete‚ such was the pain of the weekend. Even still‚ it felt like a timely tonic on every level when
Lewis Miley rose t
allest to head home from
Sandro Tonali's corner in the second minute of stoppage-time‚ especi
ally with this quarter-final just a few kicks from penalties. After a first goal for
Yoane Wissa on his full debut was cancelled out by
Fulham's Sasa Lukic inside the first 16 minutes‚ chances became as scarce as the nerves were plentiful. And so‚ after 90 minutes in which
Eddie Howe's side were better than the abject showing at the
Stadium of Light without being brilliant‚
St James' Park prepared for spot-kicks.
