NEW DELHI: Newcastle United pulled off a major upset by defeating Manchester City 1-0 in the League Cup, securing a spot in the fourth round and setting up a showdown with reigning champions Manchester United, who had defeated them in last season's final.
The deadlock was finally broken in the second half at St James' Park when Swedish forward Alexander Isak capitalized on a low cross from Joelinton, finding the back of the net in the 53rd minute.
