Savio Shines in Tottenham Debut as Barry Scores Hat-Trick in League Cup Wins
The English League Cup second round continued on Wednesday with notable performances from Tottenham Hotspur and Everton. Tottenham defeated Charlton Athletic 5-1, with new signing Savio making an impressive debut by scoring a goal and providing an assist after coming off the bench. Savio had recently expressed a desire to improve his finishing, and his debut showed promising signs. Additionally, 19-year-old Miki Mor scored and assisted Dominic Solanke, while Ben Davies and Kevin Danso also contributed to the victory. Charlton's Lloyd Jones scored a consolation goal in the 87th minute.
Newcastle United edged West Bromwich Albion 3-2 in a closely contested match. Isaac Price scored twice for the Championship side West Brom, but Harvey Barnes responded with two goals of his own for Newcastle, including a crucial strike in the 81st minute. Zoumana Touré opened the scoring, helping Newcastle advance to the next round.
Everton secured a commanding 4-0 away win against Preston North End. French forward Tierno Barry was the standout player, netting a hat-trick and assisting Bernan Johnson, who also scored. Barry, who joined Everton from Villarreal two years ago, had an excellent start to the competition, helping Everton progress comfortably against the lower-tier team.
