LONDON — Alexander Isak scored his 50th goal for Newcastle United as Eddie Howe's side took a huge step towards the League Cup final with a 2-0 victory at Arsenal on Tuesday.

Isak struck shortly before halftime in the first leg of the semi-final at a chilly Emirates Stadium and then had a big role in Newcastle's second scored by Anthony Gordon after the break.

Arsenal were left to rue their failure to convert several good chances with Gabriel Martinelli denied by the woodwork in the first half and Kai Havertz missing a golden opportunity.

Christian Pulisic is having an incredible return from injury for AC Milan, now showing up for the Italian giant in the Supercoppa Final.

After going down 2-0 against Inter Milan in Saudi Arabia, Pulisic helped seal the comeback against their rivals with a superb control and finish inside the box to beat Yan Sommer to the bottom corner.
