Newcastle United beat Arsenal 2-0 in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at the Emirates Stadium - here are the player ratings from the match.
Eddie Howe made one forced change from the side that won 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday with former Arsenal player Joe Willock coming into the midfield in place of the suspended Bruno Guimaraes.
Newcastle went into the game on the back of six successive wins in all competitions but hadn’t won away at the Emirates Stadium since 2011.
Arsenal had a big chance to take the lead after half an hour as Gabriel Martinelli raced through on goal only to be denied by the post.
But it was Newcastle who took the lead in the tie as Jacob Murphy set up Alexander Isak once again to score his 15th goal of the campaign. A quarter of the way through the tie, Newcastle led 1-0.
Shortly after the restart, Newcastle doubled their lead through Anthony Gordon, who tapped the ball in after David Raya parried Isak’s shot. The Magpies then had to withstand a sustained period of pressure to see out the clean sheet and 2-0 win.

11. Alexander Isak - 9
Led the line well with some excellent passing to release his teammates and some driving runs forward. Capped off a magnificent first half display with yet another goal - his 50th for the club. Played a key role in the second goal with his shot being saved before Gordon tapped in. Withdrawn with 25 minutes left to play. Simply unplayable at the moment. | AFP via Getty Images
