After surviving a massive scare inside the opening three minutes, Arsenal's EFL Cup hopes are all but over thanks to a chaotic 53 seconds at St James' Park.
Already 2-0 down, it took just 20 minutes for things to get worse.
Moments after Martin Ødegaard hit the post from 12 yards out, Newcastle broke on the Gunners and some excellent forward play from Alexander Isak saw him exchange passes with Anthony Gordon before slamming a shot against the crossbar.
However, his effort rebounded straight into the path of Jacob Murphy, who capped off a crazy 53 seconds and put the tie almost entirely beyond Arsenal.
Is there any chance of a comeback?
