Newcastle United are into the third round of the Carabao Cup following a 2-1 win against Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park. The Magpies had the first chance when Sean Longstaff found Jacob Murphy, but his shot was comfortably saved.
But after settling well, Tranmere took the lead midway through the first half. The United defence was caught happing and Elliott Devitt broke to open the scoring.
United were dealt an injury blow when Emil Krafth was forced off with an injury, Kieran Trippier replacing him. But almost instantly they drew level, with Jamaal Lascelles alert to turn the ball home at the second attempt following a deep corner.
