Carabao Cup: Smith's Own Goal Earns Newcastle Win Over Bournemouth

Adam Smith's Own Goal

Adam Smith's smith own goal was the luck Newcastle United needed to secure a 1-0 win over Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Newcastle controlled much of the match but lacked the energy and the instinct to score in the first half.

Newcastle striker Callum Wilson found the back of the net after 26 minutes but a late flag for offside cut his celebration short.

Kieffer Moore could have sent the visitors ahead after 56 minutes but his header from inside the box went just past the post.

It took 67 minutes before Newcastle managed to seal the win, with Smith miscalculating a cross and heading in an own goal.
