(Football news) Newcastle United secured an unconvincing 1-0 win over Bournemouth in the League Cup fourth round following an own goal from Adam Smith. Newcastle controlled the majority of the match but they lacked the energy and the instinct to score in the first half. Newcastle striker Callum Wilson did find the back of the net after 26 minutes but a late flag for offside cut his celebration short.

Wales star Kieffer Moore could have sent the visitors ahead after 56 minutes but his header went just past the post. It took 67 minutes before Newcastle created a clear cut chance as they managed to seal the win, with Smith miscalculating a cross and heading in an own goal. In other results, Leicester City enjoyed complete dominance against MK Dons as they completed a 3-0 win thanks to goals from Youri Tielemans, Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy.

Third tier Lincoln City grabbed a surprise second minute lead through an own goal from Gavin Bazunu at Southampton but Nathan Jones’s side turned it around to win 2-1 after two goals from Che Adams sealed their 4th round place in the Carabao. A Raul Jimenez penalty and Rayan Ait-Nouri’s stoppage time goal sealed Wolverhampton Wanderers a 2-0 victory over Gillingham.
