AI summary

Newcastle edged past Millwall 1-0 in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday night to progress to the fourth round. Joe Willock's late goal, after a fine cross from Lewis Hall, broke the deadlock in a match that never reached great heights but saw Jaissle's side grind out another win.

The visitors struggled to create clear-cut chances throughout and were grateful to goalkeeper Hornicek, who made crucial saves as Millwall pushed hard in the closing stages. Newcastle now travel to Leeds on Monday in the league.
