Magpies dumped out by injury-time double

NEWCASTLE United’s winless start to the season continued as they were dumped out of the second round of the Carabao Cup by Championship side Nottingham Forest.

Daryl Murphy’s second-minute header against his former club was cancelled out in stoppage time by Salomon Rondon’s first goal for Rafa Benitez’s side, but substitute Matty Cash and Gil Dias both quickly scored at the other end.

Elsewhere, two goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Gylfi Sigurdsson’s first of the season ensured an under-strength Everton side avoided an upset with a 3-1 victory over Sky Bet Championship side Rotherham.

Dramatic exit: Rafa Benitez

Iceland international Sigurdsson, who scored six times last season following his £45millon club record move from Swansea, scored from close range after 28 minutes, followed in the second half by Calvert-Lewin heading his first since February.

Substitute Will Vaulks nodded in an 86th minute corner but Calvert-Lewin’s second moments later snuffed out any hopes of a late comeback.

Watford made comfortable progress with a 2-0 defeat of Reading courtesy of strikes from Isaac Success and Quina while, at The New Den, Aiden O’Brien capped off a dramatic turnaround as Millwall came from behind to beat Plymouth Argyle 3-2.

Jamie Ness’ header was cancelled out by a Shaun Williams penalty before Freddie Ladapo’s fine goal restored Argyle’s advantage.

Lee Gregory equalised seven minutes from time before fellow substitute O’Brien nudged home to send Millwall through.
