Download Newcastle United vs Leicester City 2 - 0 (EFL Cup 2023 Goals & Highlights)

Newcastle advanced to the Carabao Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1976 with a deserved win at home to Leicester.

The Magpies battered the Foxes across the 90 minutes, but were made to wait in order to edge in front and settle the nerves.

Sean Longstaff somehow spurned a glorious chance from mere yards out just 46 seconds into the tie to kick off a wasteful half of football for Newcastle.

Bruno Guimaraes, Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron were all guilty of missing great opportunities at St James' Park, before an unlikely hero emerged just after the break.

Local lad Dan Burn scored his first goal for his boyhood club after weaving his way in off the left flank and slotting under Danny Ward to break the deadlock.

Joelinton added a second for Newcastle shortly after, while Jamie Vardy was unable to pull one back with a free shot from within the penalty area to compound Leicester's miserable run.
