Newcastle United won 2-0 at Arsenal in the first leg of the EFL Cup semifinals on Tuesday, pulling off a major upset that gives the Magpies a sizable advantage before next month's second leg. Arsenal dominated the match in terms of shots and possession but were trailing by the 37th minute when Alexander Isak gave Newcastle the lead.

Tottenham and Liverpool will meet this evening in their eagerly awaited EFL Cup semi-final first leg. It has been a tale of contrasting fortunes for both sides this season. Injury-ravaged Tottenham sits in 12th place in the Premier League as pressure continues to grow on manager Ange Postecoglou.
