Newcastle progress as Joe Willock strikes late to see off Millwall
Newcastle progress as Joe Willock strikes late to see off Millwall. Newcastle United did just enough to progress to the next round of the Carabao Cup against a spirited Millwall team that wasn’t so much down to the bare bones, as the bones beneath the bones.
Newcastle United did just enough to progress to the next round of the Carabao Cup against a spirited Millwall team that wasn’t so much down to the bare bones, as the bones beneath the bones. Joe Willock scored the only goal of this boisterous, fun, slightly vague early-season cup tie, finishing neatly on 81 minutes.
Although by the end there was a sense both sets of fans were more or less happy with the result. Millwall for the vigour of the performance.
Newcastle for the result, the clean sheet and any signs of early progress in the dawning of the age of Jaissle-ball.
