League Cup | Man City dumped out by Newcastle; Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea advance

Man City outplayed but eliminated from League Cup by Newcastle; Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea win. Man City's treble-winning streak ends; Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea win; Newcastle to face Man United in fourth round.

Manchester City seems to win every competition it enters these days except the English League Cup.

Newcastle beat Man City 1-0 on Wednesday in the third round of the League Cup which also eluded Pep Guardiola's team during its storied treble last season. Guardiola's agitation showed by getting a yellow card in the closing minutes for dissent to the match officials.

“No problem, I accept everything,” Guardiola told the BBC of his booking. “Congratulations to Newcastle for the victory.” Newcastle's reward in the fourth-round draw made 30 minutes after the final whistle is a trip to Manchester in the fourth round to face United. It's a rematch of last season's final won by Man United.

Guardiola left star starters Erling Haaland, Kyle Walker and Phil Foden on the bench, yet Man City still dominated the first half without making its possession count with a goal.

Alexander Isak struck in the 53rd for Newcastle which also made sweeping lineup changes to rest key players for another midweek fixture sandwiched between two Champions League challenges.

The goal was created by Joelinton's dribble into and across the penalty area past four City defenders before squaring a pass that found Isak alone at the far post.

Foden and Jeremy Doku came on in the second half but could not find a leveler as Haaland stayed on the bench among the unused substitutes.
