Harvey Barnes leaves West Brom captain George Campbell on his backside as scores the first of his two goals for Newcastle

Newcastle United winger Harvey Barnes ruined West Bromwich Albion's night on Tyneside as he came off the bench at half-time to score twice and send the Magpies through to the third round of the Carabao Cup.
The hosts' thrilling 3-2 win ended the chance of James Morrison becoming the first Albion boss to win his first four matches of the season since 1947.
But Barnes was gracious enough in victory to acknowledge the part his old club played in his own career trajectory.
Barnes' two goals took his career tally with Leicester, Newcastle and his three loan spells at MK Dons, Barnsley and the Baggies to 97 - but it was at The Hawthorns in the first half of the 2018-19 season where he really took off, fashioning nine goals and eight assists in 28 appearances for Darren Moore's promotion-chasing side.
"Mozza [Morrison] was part of the squad then," recalls Barnes. "It's a bit weird seeing him as a manager now. But I have really fond memories. I loved it when I got sent to West Brom.
"For pure football, and excitement wise, it was some of the best moments I've had in my career. With the football we played and the team we had, the environment was perfect for any young player to go and thrive in.
"I didn't want to come back from my loan, I was enjoying it that much, but it was out of my hands."
