Newcastle United: Thauvin 3, de Jong 8, Janmaat 56, Williamson 63

Northampton Town: Richards 10 (pen)

It might only have been the League Cup second round but Florian Thauvin made it a memorable night.

Making his first start for United and on his home debut, the French winger dazzled the 26,000+ who were inside St James Park.

The third minute saw Haidara’s deep cross reach Thauvin and he made no mistake with a far post volley (watch it here).

Five minutes later and the former Marseille winger turned provider, his free-kick glanced in by Siem de Jong.

However, Northampton then went straight up the other end and a Tiote handball saw the ref point to the spot and Marc Richards scored the penalty – 2-1 after only 10 minutes.

However, 11 minutes into the second period and Thauvin picked up his second assist, with Janmaat firing home inside the box.

The Frenchman completing his night’s work with another excellent free-kick that even Mike Williamson couldn’t miss at the back post.
