Newcastle and West Bromwhich Albion, both relegated from the English Premier League last season, escaped an early League Cup exit last night as they edged seven-goal thrillers.
Both sides have made an impressive start to the Championship campaign but they were caught cold as Huddersfield and Rotherham of the third and fourth tier respectively made their illustrious hosts sweat for eventual 4-3 successes.
Newcastle's Kevin Nolan netted an 84th-minute winner to see off a Huddersfield side managed by former Geordie favourite Lee Clark.
The action at the Hawthorns was no less dramatic as Simon Cox scored the winner in extra-time.
