Hello and welcome to the live commentary of the EFL Cup fixture between Newcastle United and Bournemouth.
Newcastle entered the final third twice as many times as Bournemouth did in the first period. Forwards Moore and Solanke are not receiving enough of the ball, with the latter only making three passes so far in the game. The Cherries cannot handle the pressing from the hosts, something which may need to change sooner rather than later for them.
That's all for today, goodbye!
Newcastle will face find out who they face in the quarter-finals later this week, joining Wolves, Southampton, and Leicester as the first teams through. The defeat means Bournemouth are now winless in normal time in their last seven away matches in the EFL Cup.
