Newcastle United escape League Cup shock, Luis Sinisterra stars for Leeds United

Chris Wood of Newcastle United scores their team’s second goal during the Carabao Cup Second Round match between Tranmere Rovers and Newcastle United at Prenton Park on August 24, 2022 in Birkenhead, England.

Big-spending Newcastle
survived a shock when they had to come from a goal down to defeat fourth-tier
Tranmere 2-1 in the League Cup second round on Wednesday.

Elliott Nevitt gave
Tranmere the lead before Jamaal Lascelles levelled before half-time.

Chris Wood headed in
the Newcastle winner in the 52nd minute to set-up a home third round clash
against Premier League rivals Crystal Palace.

Leeds put out third
division Barnsley 3-1 with Colombian international Luis Sinisterra scoring his
first goal for the Premier League side since his £22.5 million move from
Feyenoord.

He then won the penalty
for Mateusz Klich to convert before Barnsley pulled a goal back from a Mads
Andersen diving header.

Callum Styles missed a
penalty for Barnsley while Klich put the result beyond doubt.

Premier League Brighton
eased to a 3-0 win at third-tier Forest Green while Bristol City claimed a 3-1
win at Wycombe.
