Two goals apiece by Joelinton and William Osula helped holders Newcastle United ease to a 4-1 victory over third-tier Bradford City and into the League Cup fourth round on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

Newcastle ended a 70-year domestic trophy drought by beating Liverpool to win last season's competition and once Joelinton and Osula scored in the space of two minutes early they were never in any danger of a shock exit.

The night could have been billed Premier League v League One as Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur all entered the competition against third-tier opposition, according to Reuters.
