Harvey Barnes Shines for Newcastle Against West Brom

Newcastle United winger Harvey Barnes made a significant impact in the EFL Cup match against West Bromwich Albion, scoring two goals shortly after coming off the bench at halftime. His performance contributed to Newcastle's 3-2 victory, which eliminated West Brom from the tournament.

This win denied West Brom's manager James Morrison the chance to achieve a historic start, as he aimed to become the first Albion boss to win his first four matches of the season since 1947. Despite the defeat, Barnes expressed gratitude for his time at West Brom, where he enjoyed a successful loan spell during the 2018-19 season, scoring nine goals and providing eight assists.

West Brom will remain in the North East for their upcoming Championship match against Middlesbrough, aiming to continue their perfect start to the season. Midfielder Isaac Price has been in excellent form, scoring four goals in two games, which Morrison attributes to the growing confidence within the squad.
