Chapter 202 - EFL Cup Round 3 – vs Newcastle United Part 3

24' Minute – Costa's Second Miss

One touch to open up.

Then a perfect diagonal—angled across the box with intent, not height. It skidded like a skipping stone, fast and low, toward the far post.

Roney was there. Always is.

He let it drop, let the defender commit, and then tapped it back across goal with his instep—just soft enough to drag the keeper with him.

And Costa was waiting.
