A look at Newcastle’s seven semi-finals since they last lifted silverware

Newcastle reached their first semi-final for 18 years when they beat Leicester on Tuesday evening to make it to the last four of the Carabao Cup.

The Magpies have not won a domestic trophy since 1955 and collected their last piece of major silverware 14 years later when they lifted the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, although there have been near misses, including two Premier League runners-up finishes, along the way.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the semi-finals the Tyneside club has contested since they last tasted glory.
