Fraser match-winner as Newcastle defeat Blackburn

Ryan Fraser proved the difference as Newcastle United beat Blackburn Rovers in the Carabao Cup second-round on Tuesday.

The Scotsman, signed as a free agent this summer, scored on debut in the 1-0 victory.

Blackburn dominated possession throughout, but a clever pass from Miguel Almiron set up Fraser to fire home the winner after 35 minutes.

Steve Bruce's side will now face Morecambe in the next round.
