Newcastle United Advances in Carabao Cup

Newcastle United secured a 3-1 victory over Brentford in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, largely thanks to Sandro Tonali's standout performance, which included two first-half goals. Tonali opened the scoring with a powerful shot from outside the box before volleying home from a corner to double the lead. Fabian Schär added a third goal in the second half, solidifying Newcastle's dominance, while Yoane Wissa scored a late consolation for Brentford. Newcastle's manager Eddie Howe emphasized the importance of this cup run, as the club seeks to end a 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy. Brentford faced additional challenges with injuries to key defenders, impacting their performance. As Tonali continues to shine, fans are hopeful for a successful campaign.
