Newcastle United stormed into the Carabao Cup quarter-final with a 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Eddie Howe made eight changes to his Newcastle side to face Manchester United in Carabao Cup on Wednesday night making the Toon Army wonder if we had the depth for such a shake-up.

The fans need not have worried as each and every player on the pitch for Newcastle was excellent.

Miguel Almiron ended playing a much bigger part in the game than he was expecting

Matt Targett added to Newcastle's injury woes in the first two minutes after seemingly pinging his hamstring while stretching for a high ball.

He was replaced by £21million man, Miguel Almiron who played on the left of the midfield instead of his usual right-wing role.

It was super sub Miguel Almiron who opened the scoring for Newcastle after an astonishing piece of play by Tino Livramento who carried the ball from box to box before slotting in Almrion for a quality finish.

Pure cheek from Miggy

As Almiron wheeled away in celebration he slid on his knees and when he came to a stop he sat down and pretended to drive a car.

It was a brilliant celebration given that Almiron was recently banned from driving for six months after failing to provide information on request.

A daft thing to do, sure, but what a way to make fun of yourself. Well in, Miggy.
