Savio scored on his Spurs debut

**Harvey Barnes**' second-half brace helped **Newcastle** clinch a 3-2 Carabao Cup win over **West Brom**.

Isaac Price sent the Baggies in front with a brilliant free-kick, but Newcastle responded through debutant Bazoumana Toure and substitute Barnes either side of the break.

The tie took a twist when Price levelled from the penalty spot in the 77th minute, but Barnes struck four minutes later against his former club to seal the Magpies’ place in the third round.

Republic of Ireland's **Jayson Molomby** went close to a last-gasp equaliser for the Baggies, but was denied by Newcastle's debutant shot-stopper Ewen Jaouen.

**Tottenham** new boy Savio scored on his debut in a sparkling cameo display to help inspire a 5-1 thrashing of **Charlton** in the Carabao Cup, to set up a round three showdown with Liverpool.

After his arrival on Tuesday, Savio was introduced in the 71st minute and got off the mark for his new club with 82 minutes on the clock with a fizzing low effort into the bottom corner.

The Brazil forward wheeled off to celebrate a brace three minutes later, but Ben Davies eventually claimed the fifth goal after he got the final touch.

It was a much-needed feel-good night for Roberto De Zerbi's team, who lost 3-0 on the opening-day of the season at Brentford, but bounced back with Mikey Moore, Dominic Solanke and Kevin Danso also on target to book a place in round three.

[Ireland's **Jake O'Brien**](https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2026/0826/1589334-unhappy-obrien-set-to-follow-coleman-out-of-everton/) was an unused substitute as **Everton** cruised past **Preston** 4-0

Striker Thierno Barry looks like he might be starting to find his feet at Everton as he scored his first hat-trick for the club.

Having opened his account at the weekend this was just the third occasion he had found the net in back-to-back games, capping his performance with an assist for new signing Brennan Johnson to score his first goal in 35 games.

Elsewhere, **Bradford** increased **Burnley's** uncomfortable start to the season with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out win after their second-round Carabao Cup tie had finished goalless at Valley Parade.

In the round three draw that followed the action, **Liverpool** will host **Spurs** while **Man United** will welcome **Brighton** to Old Trafford in the pick of the ties, elsewhere Keith Andrews' **Brentford** face a London derby away at **Reading.**
