The Bantams of Bradford came to St James's Park on Wednesday night. Unfortunately for them, Newcastle United are now heavyweights, especially in the Carabao Cup.
Our defence of the trophy began in deliriously routine style despite a rocky spell early doors and a spectacular hit by Bishop Auckland's Andy Cook.
With a one-two from Joelinton and Will Osula in either half, it was a comfortable evening in the end and we roll on to Spurs in round 4. Ding ding!
