SOUTHAMPTON, Jan 25 ― Brazilian midfielder Joelinton fired a second-half winner to earn Newcastle United a 1-0 win at Southampton in their League Cup semi-final first leg today, with the hosts aggrieved they were denied an equaliser by VAR.
The visitors continued to waste chances in the second half, with Joelinton missing an open goal before he made amends, arriving right on cue to convert Alexander Isak's low cross in the 73rd minute and score what proved to be the winner. Saints' evening finished on another sour note as Duje Caleta-Car was sent off for two bookable offences late on, with Newcastle in pole position to reach the final as they chase a first domestic trophy since 1955.
“We controlled the game but we missed big chances,” Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes told Sky Sports. “It's just the first game now we need to think about the next one. I'm proud of the team today.
