En route to the quarter-finals, Brentford, fourth in the rankings of English football’s second division, had beaten three other Premier League teams.
On Tuesday Newcastle could feel what West Bromwich, Southampton and Fulham have already had to experience.
In a rainy The Brentford Community Stadium in West London was scoreless for just over an hour. Brentford missed Pontus Jansson, who is injured, but started with Saman Ghoddos, who nearly broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute when he hit the crossbar.
Instead, the winning goal came in the 66th minute. Local player Sergi Canós came close to increasing the score in the 13th minute. His shot from the right looked good, but Joshua Dasilva managed to deflect with the tip of the fingers. The 22-year-old put his foot down masterfully and rolled 1-0.
That’s what it took to send Brentford to the club’s first grand cup final.
In the second quarter-final on Tuesday, later in the evening, crisis-stricken Arsenal take on defending champion Manchester City.
