Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur meet for the first time this season and it's a knockout affair when the League Cup fourth round hits St. James' Park on Wednesday.

Pedro Porro was forced to order both Djed Spence and Randal Kolo Muani over to Tottenham’s away supporters at St James’ Park. In the aftermath of their defeat on Tyneside, the pair were spotted heading straight down the tunnel, before the Spaniard intervened and forced them back out.

The ball found its way to the edge of the box to Joe Willock and his effort was blocked too. A much changed Newcastle have looked bright early doors.
