It was a much-needed confidence boost for Newcastle and Wissa\u2019s first goal in black and white, igniting the home crowd early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Newcastle\u2019s joy was short-lived as Fulham responded impressively. Sa\u0161a Luki\u0107<\/strong> ghosted into the penalty area unmarked and powered a header past the Newcastle goalkeeper from Antonee Robinson\u2019s<\/strong> inch-perfect delivery. The assist was Robinson\u2019s first of an injury-disrupted season, while Luki\u0107\u2019s equaliser ensured the tie remained delicately balanced heading into the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first half ended in a 1-1 draw, setting the stage for a tense, tactical second period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eddie Howe\u2019s halftime talk clearly had an effect, with Newcastle dominating possession and pinning Fulham back. The Magpies thought they had regained the lead when Joachim Andersen<\/strong> inadvertently turned Jacob Murphy\u2019s cross into his own net, but the celebrations were cut short by an offside flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moments later, Tino Livramento<\/strong> came close with a low drive that forced Lecomte into a sharp save. Unfortunately for the full-back, injury brought his night to an early end, adding to Newcastle\u2019s concerns despite their growing control of the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As penalties loomed, Newcastle made one final push. In the 92nd minute, a corner caused chaos in the Fulham box. After initially being denied by Lecomte, Lewis Miley<\/strong> showed composure beyond his years, rising highest to glance a header into the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The goal sparked wild celebrations inside St James\u2019 Park and crushed Fulham\u2019s dream of lifting their first-ever EFL Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The victory sends Newcastle into the EFL Cup semi-finals and keeps alive hopes of back-to-back titles. For Fulham, it was a painful exit after a spirited display, undone by a moment of late defensive lapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For football fans in Tanzania, the match was another reminder of why the EFL Cup delivers nonstop drama\u2014young talents stepping up, late goals, and high-stakes football under the lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love thrilling matches like Newcastle vs Fulham?
