Newcastle advanced to the fourth round of the English League Cup with a 1-0 win over Millwall, secured by Joseph Willock’s 81st-minute goal.

The result extended what Yahoo Sports described as Newcastle’s unbeaten start to the season. The club won the competition in 2025, ending what the source characterised as a decades-long wait for major silverware.

Bournemouth produced the largest win among the four Premier League sides, defeating second-division Lincoln 4-0. Ryan Christie scored a hat-trick, while Brazil international Rayan was also on target.

Sunderland defeated Hull 1-0 in an all-Premier League match, with Chemsdine Talbi scoring the only goal. Crystal Palace beat second-division Middlesbrough 3-0, with Jørgen Strand Larsen scoring twice.

Bradford also progressed after beating Leyton Orient 3-1 in an all-third-division match.
