NEWPORT 1 NEWCASTLE 1 (4-5 on pens)
NEWCASTLE were just three minutes away from being dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the expense of League Two Newport.
Tristan Abrahams had given the hosts the perfect start with his fifth-minute strike.
And Newport – the lowest-ranked team left in the competition – looked set to stun Steve Bruce’s side.
But Jonjo Shelvey scored with three minutes of the 90 remaining to take the game to penatlies.
Despite a miss from Joelinton, the Newcastle survived the spot-kicks to progress to the next round.
Mark Gillespie saved Ryan Taylor’s effort and Brandon Cooper blazed over the bar to hand Newcastle the tie.
Callum Wilson, Fabian Schar, Shelvey, Jacob Murphy and Sean Longstaff all converted from the spot.

FERRAN TORRES announced his arrival at Manchester City with a dazzling display as Pep Guardiola’s remarkable record in this competition went on.
The £20.8million summer signing from Valencia scored his first goal for his new club soon after putting one on a plate for Raheem Sterling.
The England forward scored twice – his first club goals of the season.
But Sterling could have had a hatful as City threatened to hand out another cup hiding to Burnley.
Home goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell had looked set to ruffle Pep’s feathers as he made a string of excellent saves.
This cup may not be their top priority – but City are clearly not going to let it go easily as they stormed to a 3-0 win.
