Newcastle United have advanced to the 4th round of the Carabao Cup after defeating Bradford City.
It’s been a tough and low-scoring start to the new season for Newcastle United but they kicked off their Carabao Cup defence with a confident 4-1 victory over Bradford City on Wednesday night.
Joelinton got the ball rolling with a composed touch and finish before William Osula confidently fired past the onrushing goalkeeper to make it two moments later.
Bradford did their best to plug the floodgates, but their resilience finally fell in the 75th minute when Joelinton again found the bottom corner.
Toon fan Andy Cook then walloped one in, in a special moment for him, but Osula also bagged a brace with a late tap-in to complete the rout.
Now Newcastle know who they will play next in the competition.
