The tactical masterstroke Matthias Jaissle made to drag Newcastle United into Carabao Cup third round

Matthias Jaissle is marching into the Carabao Cup third round after his Newcastle United side came from behind to beat West Bromwich Albion.

St James’ Park witnessed its second enthralling encounter in a matter of days as the Magpies came from behind to beat the Championship flyers. Bazoumana Toure and a Harvey Barnes brace produced the goods - here are your five key takeaways after another Tyneside thriller.

£50m unveiling

The decibel levels inside St James’ Park rose tenfold on the stroke of half-time. Nothing quite gets the juices flowing like a new signing late in the window.

As Nico Gonzalez took to the turf kitted out in black and white, he must have wondered why leaving Manchester City was ever a debate. All four corners of the ground greeted the Spaniard in raucous fashion, with chants of “Nico, Nico, Nico…” reminiscent of the midfielder he is set to replace.

Gonzalez will likely be thrown straight into the action against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. He takes up the No.6 jersey - last worn by former skipper Jamaal Lascelles.

Nick Woltemade watch

Matthias Jaissle placed trust in Nick Woltemade ahead of kick-off with a leading role up front. Speculation in recent days has centred around a potential loan move to Borussia Dortmund.

Ultimately, he failed to stake his claim. The highlight of his night came just after the hour mark when he appealed for a penalty.

For now, at least in the Premier League, Woltemade must settle for a place on the bench. The jury remains out on whether he suits Jaissle’s style of play.

The Dedicinator

On Sunday, Toon fans witnessed the defensive side to Dedic’s game. His crunching challenge allowed Anthony Elanga to fire Newcastle ahead on five minutes against Liverpool.

Fast forward 72 hours and the Bosnian showcased his attacking qualities. Dedic looks like a genuine outlet going forward, with his ball to Bazoumana Toure inch-perfect to pull Newcastle level.

His aggressive nature appears tailor-made for the Magpies - and Jaissle’s style. Two solid displays so far from the £30million man.

Matthias Jaissle masterstroke

Bazoumana Toure will be buzzing to score a debut goal to drag Newcastle back into the contest. However, that did little to paper over the defensive cracks, with the Ivorian and Lewis Hall playing a different game at times during the first half.

Not scared to make the change, Jaissle recognised this, hooking the goalscorer at the break. It felt harsh - but then German was proven right just moments later when Harvey Barnes fired Newcastle in front. A late clincher for the 28-year-old justified the decision further.

Ballsy. Brave. Bold. But all the things Toon fans have been crying out for.

Comeback kings!

The Jaissle era is NUTS! Nine goals in two games, filled with end-to-end action and late drama.

This time, the Magpies were the ones pushing the action as the clock ticked down. Barnes donned the superhero cape to book Newcastle a spot in the next round.

One major damp squib from last season was United surrendering 27 points from winning positions. While there were no points on offer this evening, Newcastle did come from behind to win for the first time since the 3-1 FA Cup win over Aston Villa in February.
