00:00Newcastle United made the best possible start to the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final
00:07away at Arsenal, winning by two goals to nil. Alexander Izak and then Anthony Gordon in
00:13the second half were on the score sheet to condemn the Gunners to an unexpected home
00:18defeat. Both teams had gone close before the first goal came. Newcastle had seen efforts
00:23from Sandro Tonali and Joe Linton go over the bar, whilst Gabriel Martinelli had hit
00:29the post for the hosts. Izak's goal, though, towards the end of the first half put Newcastle
00:34in control, which they then cemented early in the second period when Gordon latched on
00:40to a rebound after Izak's shot had been saved by Arsenal goalkeeper Davit Raya. The two
00:45teams will return to St James' Park in February to see who can reach Wembley Stadium and a
00:51chance at glory in this year's Carabao Cup against either Tottenham or Liverpool.
