NEWCASTLE United rattled Tottenham Hotspur’s cage once again at St James’ Park to stay on the road to Wembley.

- By LEE RYDER

On a night when Newcastle legend Andy Cole branded Spurs players “schoolboys” for switching off during a decisive corner kick, from which Fabian Schar scored the opener, Xavi Simmons raced after the officials at halftime and screamed: “Wake up”.

Cole had been left amazed that Spurs lost concentration as Djed Spence tied his lace then struggled to get back into position quickly enough.

But cup holders Newcastle were alive and alert as they emerged deserved winners.

The Magpies went into the last 16 clash with memories of last season’s Carabao Cup triumph still fresh and proudly displayed the trophy in the reception of the Milburn Stand before the game.

Howe made eight changes to the team that beat Fulham at the weekend, with goal hero Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, and England star Anthony Gordon all starting the night on the bench.
