And Eddie Howe\u2019s men followed up in the return leg on Tyneside with an assured 2-1 triumph, despite Bruno Guimaraes\u2019 late sending off.<\/p>\n<p>There was a cacophonous atmosphere at St. James&#8217; Park as the home fans produced decibel-defying renditions of \u2018Que sera, sera\u2019 \u2014 and that energy was channeled through to the players from the off, who came flying out of the traps with the bit between their teeth.<\/p>\n<p>It took academy star Sean Longstaff just five minutes to break the deadlock in the second leg and double the Tynesiders\u2019 overall advantage, slotting emphatically past Gavin Bazunu after being carefully set up by Kieran Trippier. The finish proved Longstaff\u2019s first at St. James&#8217; Park since February 2019, nearly four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>And the unlikely goal-getter would be at it again moments later, determined to grab the tie by the scruff of the neck and book Newcastle a first EFL Cup final appearance since 1976. He duly nabbed a rare brace 20 minutes into the contest after converting Miguel Almiron\u2019s low drive into the box.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2 &#8211; Sean Longstaff has scored more goals in the opening 21 minutes tonight as he had in his first 60 appearances for Newcastle at St. James&#39; Park combined (1).

The pinpoint thwack was actually the first to breach Nick Pope since November 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Jones rang the changes throughout the showdown, tweaking personnel and modifying his system as the game went on. But he was unable to formulate a set-up that put Newcastle under consistent pressure. They had their moments, notably from Adam Armstrong, but only three shots in total. It wasn&#8217;t enough.<\/p>\n<p>In what was a triumphant night for the Toon Army, one sour note perhaps took some of the gloss off of their triumph, with star midfielder Bruno Guimaraes picking up a straight red card for a nasty-looking challenge on Samuel Edozie. Paul Tierney initially brandished yellow in Guimaraes&#8217; direction, but reversed his decision upon consultation with the video assistant referee and a viewing on the pitch side monitor.<\/p>\n<p>It was a dampener, but the mood on the terraces certainly didn&#8217;t reflect the late indiscretion, with Howe&#8217;s side serenaded by liturgical chants and swirling black-and-white scarves.<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle are heading to the capital.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [paddy-power-lto] does not exist -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Newcastle United have reached the final of the EFL Cup after beating Southampton 3-1 on aggregate in the penultimate round.
