Andy Carroll – (On for Lewis 79’) N/A. Put himself about and had a couple of half-chances.
BRENTFORD RATINGS: Luke Daniels - 7: Solid saves from Wilson and Fraser in first half and showed good decision-making when the former attempted to round him just before the break but stayed on his feet as chance fizzled out. Reuters
Tarique Fosu - 8: Looked to get forward when possible and produced a couple of impressive diagonal balls. Should have done better when one Darlow punch fell straight to his feet after half an hour but blazed well over. Turned Lewis inside out 10 minutes into second half but cross was blocked. Reuters
Ethan Pinnock - 7: Headed chance just over from corner after six. Another header across box from corner 20 minutes later should have been finished by Canos. PA
Mads Bech Sorensen - 7: Rescued by Daniels early on when Wilson escaped his clutches to almost open scoring. A vital touch diverted a Fraser cross away from Wilson’s feet soon after. Stuck to his task up against a dangerous striker. Reuters
Dominic Thompson - 7: Showed great composure under pressure from Murphy in first half when Newcastle were hoping to launch counter-attack. Never allowed the winger to make an impact. Reuters
Vitaly Janelt - 6: German midfielder did OK but was outshone buy some of his teammates and was hooked after an hour. Reuters
Josh Dasilva - 9: Excellent ball across penalty area handed glorious chance to Ghoddos who hit the bar when he should have scored. Calm finish to score only goal of game with first-time shot. Former Arsenal academy player looked a class-act against top-flight opposition. Easily the man of the match. PA
Emiliano Marcondos - 7: Played his part as the Bees claimed another Premier League scalp in the competition. Reuters
Saman Ghoddos - 7: Iran winger caused Newcaastle problems in opening 45 minutes. Found some space on edge of box in first couple of minutes but curled shot wide and then produced fine cross into middle that forced a corner. Hit the bar when really should have scored after scuffing shot midway through first half. AP
Sergi Canos 6: Left with head in his hands after missing absolute sitter with header after 25 minutes when he failed to even hit the target. Good ball into box set-up Dasilva goal. PA
Marcus Forss 6: Put in a shift up front without ever looking like scoring. AP
SUBS: Christian Norgaard – (On for Janelt 60’) 7: Saw toe poke at goal saved well by Darlow. Reuters
Ivan Toney – (On for Canos 69’) 7: Top scorer surprisingly left on the bench against his former club and nearly scored in injury-time. AP
Mathias Jensen – (On for Dasilva 81’) N/A. Reuters
NEWCASTLE RATINGS: Karl Darlow - 7: Lucky to escape when one poor punch in first half fell straight at Fosu’s feet but the defender smashed high and wide. Vital point-blank save to deny Norgaard with 13 minutes left and another fingertip stop wide in injury-time. Reuters
DeAndre Yedlin - 6: American full-back back found himself called in from the cold due to injuries and illness and did okay. Getty
Ciaran Clark - 7: Continues to be Newcastle’s main man at the back with Jamaal Lascelles out. Plenty of important blocks and tackles. The problem wasn’t Newcastle’s centre-backs here. AP
Isaac Hayden - 7: Midfielder back in his emergency centre-half role, let no one down and was certainly not to blame for the defeat. Getty
Jamal Lewis - 5: Former Norwich man is going through a sticky spell for the Magpies and found Dasilva a tricky opponent. Good ball into box found Wilson at start of second half but generally struggled. AFP
Jacob Murphy - 4: Contributed nothing in first half then did find himself in good attacking position with surge down right after break but delayed crossing before miss-controlling out for goal-kick. The Magpies needed balls in the box from their wide man but he failed to provide them. Reuters
Jonjo Shelvey 5: Found his range after 35 minutes with one super pass to set up chance for Fraser in but generally looked slow and off the pace. Nice footwork and switch of play to Fraser after break. Booked in second half which would have ruled him out of the semi-final but that was never a concern judging by this team performance. Reuters
Sean Longstaff 4: Was made to look silly by one Dasilva turn and drag-back in first half. An awful night in midfield for player who looked such a good prospect when he first burst onto the scene a couple of seasons ago but now looks a shadow of that player. AFP
Ryan Fraser 6: Perfect curling ball into middle from left wing nearly found former Bournemouth teammate Wilson after 20 minutes. Fine control and shot after Shelvey cross-field pass but powerful strike too close to Daniels who palmed over. Had another good chance blocked in front of goal just before half-time. At least offered a bit of attacking threat. AP
Miguel Almiron 3: Did not look like he was fancied tricky conditions on a wet night at Brentford and contributed absolutely nothing going forward. Another player who has gone backwards under manager Steve Bruce. PA
Callum Wilson 6: Almost broke deadlock early on when took advantage of Sorensen error to hammer shot from tight angle that Daniels blocked well. Tried to commit the Bees goalkeeper with charge across six-yard box just before break but Daniels stayed tall and striker didn’t get his shot away. Headed Lewis cross wide just after half-time. Newcastle are in trouble when he doesn't score. Reuters
SUBS: Dwight Gayle – (On for Almiron 65’) 4: One half-chance to grab a goal but control let him down. AFP
Joelinton – (On for Fraser 65’) 4: Never looked like scoring. As usual. AP
