Everton beat Newcastle 3–1 to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals

What happened

This was the last of the eight fourth-round ties, played a night after the quarter-final draw had already been made — both clubs knew the winner would travel to Fleetwood, the League Two side whose penalty shoot-out win over Arsenal was the round's biggest upset (that draw and Fleetwood's place in it are carried on Vozia's live Liverpool–Chelsea brief). Newcastle had reached this stage with late winners in both earlier rounds and were defending the strong recent cup record noted in the pre-match reporting; Everton had beaten Preston and Wolves in the earlier rounds.

Timing, stated honestly: the tie was tracked in progress by Vozia's scans through the evening (1–0 at 37 minutes, 2–0 at half-time, 2–0 at 67 minutes). The brief was first published in the scan in which Newcastle United's official report was read, initially carrying an interim summary's account of the minutes and stating that Everton's own report had not yet been published; the full official read of both clubs' sites (browser task, 21:42–21:47 UTC) supplied Everton's report and the corrected minutes, and the page was updated the same evening — see the update history.
