Newcastle United beat AFC Wimbledon 1-0 in the Carabao Cup third round at St James’ Park - here are the player ratings from the match.
The rescheduled cup match saw Eddie Howe make eight changes to his side that drew 1-1 with Manchester City on Saturday. Fabian Schar, Joelinton and Harvey Barnes were the only players to keep their place in the side as Howe handed Will Osula his full debut.
The Magpies were up against a League Two Wimbledon side who had endured significant problems around their stadium which saw the initially scheduled fixture at Plough Lane postponed due to flooding.
A frustrating first half for Newcastle unfolded with Wimbledon limiting them to few chances. But for the second match running, The Magpies won a penalty at the Leazes End after Miguel Almiron was fouled in the box by Joe Pigott.
Fabian Schar stepped up and calmly converted to give the hosts a 1-0 lead heading in at the break.
Newcastle had chances to extend their lead after the break but Wimbledon defended well for the most part to keep the scoreline tight. But in the end it was Newcastle who were able to see out the win and progress.
The win sets up a last-16 home tie with Chelsea at the end of the month.
