Lewis Miley scored a dramatic late winner as holders Newcastle United beat Fulham to reach the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. The quarter-final looked to be heading for penalties after Fulham midfielder Sasa Lukic's header cancelled out Yoane Wissa's opener at St James' Park. But Miley headed home at the near post from Sandro Tonali's stoppage-time corner as Newcastle got back to winning ways following a damaging derby defeat against Sunderland on Sunday.

The 19-year-old midfielder stepped up when Newcastle needed him most, having selflessly filled in at right-back because of injuries to Kieran Trippier, Lewis Hall, Dan Burn and Tino Livramento, who hobbled off on Wednesday night. Miley, in the process, gave Eddie Howe a crucial and much-needed victory on a night supporters repeatedly sang the name of the head coach. The youngster was one of five players who kept his place from the weekend as Howe made six changes to his side.

Wissa was one of those who came into the team and he quickly made an impression on his first start since recovering from a knee injury and, indeed, since completing his protracted £55m move from Brentford in the summer.

Although Benjamin Lecomte got a hand to Jacob Murphy's first-time cross, the Fulham goalkeeper merely knocked the ball into the path of Wissa, who bundled it into the net from close range. However, shaky Newcastle were not ahead for long as Antonee Robinson ghosted into space between Murphy and Miley out wide and picked out the unmarked Sasa Lukic, who powered a header past Aaron Ramsdale.

Lecomte later punched away a swerving effort from Bruno Guimaraes and was kept busy, getting down to parry a low drive from Harvey Barnes and making a fine late save to claw away Miley's shot. But Miley rose to head home from the corner that followed to send Newcastle into a third EFL Cup semi-final in four seasons.

Nick Woltemade put through his own net as Sunderland enjoyed a derby win to remember against arch-rivals Newcastle United. These North East neighbours renewed hostilities for the first time in nearly a decade in the Premier League on Sunday, and it was Woltemade who made a decisive contribution - but not in the way the German forward would have imagined.

The second half had not long got under way when Sunderland defender Nordi Mukiele whipped a teasing cross into the box and Woltemade attempted to head the ball behind. But the club's record signing ended up directing the ball in off the crossbar and into the net to send the Stadium of Light into raptures.

It felt like the roof was about to come off the stadium on an emotional afternoon for the hosts - just a day after club legend Gary Rowell died at the age of 68 following a long battle with leukaemia. Rowell cemented his place in the hearts of Sunderland fans by scoring a hat-trick against Newcastle in 1979, and Regis le Bris' fearless side built on the club's strong record against their bitter rivals.

The tone was set by Sunderland supporters unfurling a huge tifo before a ball was even kicked, which depicted a black cat hunting down a magpie in a nod to the clubs' respective nicknames. And Sunderland fed off the noise of a febrile Stadium of Light from the off as forward Bertrand Traore crashed into Lewis Hall from kick-off.

The remarkably frenetic nature of the game did not subside but both teams lacked composure and creativity in front of goal, particularly in the first half, with captain Granit Xhaka firing over from outside the box and defender Dan Ballard also sending a header off target.

But Sunderland landed what proved to be a decisive blow after the break when Woltemade scored just the second ever Premier League own goal in the Tyne-Wear derby. The hosts went close to doubling their advantage late on, but Aaron Ramsdale made a big save to keep out substitute Wilson Isidor's stinging volley. Sunderland saw the game out to move up to seventh - five places above Newcastle.

Newcastle United captain Bruno Guimaraes scored straight from a corner as 10-man Burnley's struggles continued at St James' Park. Guimaraes' moment of inspiration and a penalty from Anthony Gordon inflicted a sixth consecutive Premier League defeat on Burnley, who had defender Lucas Pires sent off in the first half.

Burnley substitute Zian Flemming pulled one back from the spot in second-half stoppage time, after Newcastle midfielder Jacob Ramsey handled the ball, but it came too late for Scott Parker's side.

The Clarets made a fearless start but fell behind when Guimaraes stepped up on home soil once again. With Burnley no doubt expecting Guimaraes to target a team-mate from Newcastle's first corner of the afternoon, the midfielder instead whipped the ball past former team-mate Martin Dubravka and into the far corner.

Guimaraes become the first Newcastle player to find the back of the net directly from a corner in a Premier League game. Burnley crumbled and defender Pires was sent off just a few minutes later after taking down Anthony Elanga outside the area as the Swede raced through on goal following Gordon's defence-splitting pass.

Newcastle quickly made the most of the man advantage, earning a penalty deep into first-half stoppage time when Burnley midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu handled. Although referee Stuart Attwell did not give a penalty initially, the official was sent to the pitchside monitor for a second look by the video assistant referee and ruled that Ugochukwu's arms were in an "unnatural position". Up stepped Gordon, who sent Dubravka the wrong way to score his second penalty in as many games.

Newcastle pushed for a third after the break - forward Yoane Wissa made his debut for the club as a substitute after recovering from a knee injury - but Dubravka made smart saves to deny Guimaraes and prevent centre-back Maxime Esteve turning the ball into his own net.

Flemming made Newcastle sweat after scoring a penalty following another VAR intervention. But Newcastle - not without a scare - saw the game out to move up to 10th place, at least temporarily, while Burnley remain four points from safety.
