CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES' PARK: Newcastle beat Fulham and yet the remedy felt only partial‚ for it will take more than stitches to soothe the wounds of Sunday's derby defeat at Sunderland. Maybe they will have to retain the Carabao Cup for the healing process to feel complete‚ such was the pain of the weekend. Even still‚ it felt like a timely tonic on every level when Lewis Miley rose tallest to head home from Sandro Tonali's corner in the second minute of stoppage-time‚ especially with this quarter-final just a few kicks from penalties. After a first goal for Yoane Wissa on his full debut was cancelled out by Fulham's Sasa Lukic inside the first 16 minutes‚ chances became as scarce as the nerves were plentiful. And so‚ after 90 minutes in which Eddie Howe's side were better than the abject showing at the Stadium of Light without being brilliant‚ St James' Park prepared for spot-kicks.

DOMINIC KING AT THE STADIUM OF LIGHT: They can't say they weren't told. In the shadows of the Stadium of Light‚ there is a mural with three words‚ in white paint on a black wall‚ that serves more as a warning than a slogan: 'Til The End.' Sunderland may once have been pushovers but now they are a red-and-white fighting machine‚ a team that never knows when it is beaten. Their ability to climb off the canvas is compelling and‚ on a thunderous evening in the North East‚ they landed a blow to leave Arsenal's eyes watering. This wasn't a fatal scoreline for Mikel Arteta but the disconsolate way he trudged off after the final whistle‚ looking like a man who realised his pockets had been picked when putting on his coat‚ told you how he felt about it all.
