O’neill’s men through as Magpies hit the goals trail

STRIKER Tyrese Campbell’s first goal of the new season helped Michael O’neill’s Stoke beat Gillingham 1-0 to progress to the Carabao Cup last 16 stage.

Campbell’s clinical 37th-minute finish did the damage as the Championship side, including Northern Ireland international Jordan Thompson, avoided an upset against their League One visitors and claimed their first home win of the season at the bet365 Stadium.

It was Stoke’s first home win over Gillingham for 16 years having last beaten them in their own backyard in 2004. O’neill’s men will face either Aston Villa or Bristol City in the next round.

Newcastle were the biggest winners on the night as they won 7-0 at Morecambe.

The Premier League side outclassed their League Two opponents scoring five times before the break.

Joelinton scored twice, with Miguel Almiron, Jacob Murphy, Isaac Hayden, Jamaal Lascelles and a Sam Lavelle own goal adding to the tally.

The hosts were 4-0 down when Toumani Diagouraga was sent off.
