LONDON (AP) — Joseph Willock scored in the 81st minute to lead Newcastle into the fourth round of the English League Cup with a 1-0 win over Millwall on Tuesday.

Newcastle, which won the trophy in 2025 to end its decades-long wait for major silverware, maintained its unbeaten start to this season with victory at The Den.

Newcastle was one of four Premier League teams to advance on the night.

In an all-Premier League match, Sunderland handed Hull its first defeat of the season, with Chemsdine Talbi scoring the only goal of the match.
