Teenager Lewis Miley scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner as holders Newcastle United beat Fulham 2-1 to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.

The tie looked set for penalties after Sasa Lukic cancelled out Yoane Wissa’s opener at St James’ Park.

But Miley, filling in at right-back amid an injury crisis, rose at the near post to head in Sandro Tonali’s corner and spark wild celebrations.

Wissa had earlier marked his first start since a £55m summer move from Brentford by bundling home after Jacob Murphy’s cross was parried by Benjamin Lecomte.

Fulham hit back when Antonee Robinson picked out Lukic, who powered a header past Aaron Ramsdale.

Newcastle pushed hard after the break, with Lecomte denying Bruno Guimaraes and Harvey Barnes, but Miley made no mistake from the decisive corner to seal a crucial win for Eddie Howe’s side.
