Newcastle United Advance to Carabao Cup Quarter-Finals with 2-0 Win Over Tottenham

Newcastle United secured their place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals with a convincing 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at St. James’ Park on October 29, 2025. The defending champions showcased their depth and tactical prowess, overcoming a much-changed Spurs side with goals from Fabian Schär and Nick Woltemade.

The match began with Schär opening the scoring in the 18th minute, capitalizing on a well-worked set-piece to head past Tottenham’s goalkeeper. Newcastle maintained control throughout the first half, limiting Spurs’ attacking opportunities. Early in the second half, Woltemade doubled the lead in the 50th minute, finishing a precise cross from Joe Willock after a defensive mix-up in the Tottenham backline.

Manager Eddie Howe’s decision to make eight changes to the starting lineup paid dividends, highlighting the squad’s versatility. Tottenham, despite their strong set-piece record in the Premier League this season, struggled to break down Newcastle’s disciplined defense. The win marks Newcastle’s continued dominance in the competition, having lost only once in normal time across 19 matches over four seasons.

Newcastle will now face Fulham at home in mid-December, keeping their bid alive to become the fifth team to retain the League Cup title.
