Carabao Cup round-up: Spurs to meet United in quarters

Timo Werner's first goal in 18 matches and Pape Sarr’s curler saw Tottenham knock Manchester City out of the Carabao Cup with a 2-1 win.

Werner set Spurs on course for victory when he rifled home in the fifth minute, which was followed by Sarr’s stunner midway through the first half.

City responded with a Matheus Nunes goal on the stroke of half-time but Tottenham held on to reach the quarter-finals.

A quickfire first-half double saw Newcastle earn revenge over Chelsea with a 2-0 win.

Three days on from their Premier League defeat to the Blues at Stamford Bridge, Newcastle scored twice in the space of three minutes when Alexander Isak pounced on a mistake at the back to net the opener.

They quickly doubled their lead when Joe Willock’s deflected header was turned in to his own net by Axel Disasi.

Ethan Nwaneri grabbed the spotlight with a fine strike as Arsenal eased through with a 3-0 win over Preston.

The 17-year-old bent in a shot to double Arsenal’s lead after Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring with his first goal of the season and Kai Havertz came off the bench to add a third.

Crystal Palace are in the last eight for the first time in 14 years after they beat Aston Villa 2-1.

Eberechi Eze and Daichi Kamada scored the goals either side of Jhon Duran’s leveller.
