Newcastle had two major causes to celebrate after Sean Longstaff booked their place in the third round with the winning penalty on the night Sandro Tonali marked his return from a 10-month gambling ban.
Longstaff came on for the Italian just after the hour mark as Eddie Howe rotated his squad but they stayed strong throughout, deserving on balance to go through to a third-round tie away to AFC Wimbledon. Jota Silva’s goal on his impressive first start for Nottingham Forest had levelled out Joe Willock’s first-minute opener to send this tie into the penalty shootout.
