Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce
Centre-back FedericoFernandezsmashed home a rebound two minutes from time as goal-shyNewcastleUnited came back from one goal down to beat visitorsSouthampton2-1 in their Premier League clash on Sunday.
Coming into the tie having scored a miserly 15 goals in 15 games,Newcastlewent behind whenSouthamptonstriker Danny Ings held off a defender before shooting across keeper Martin Dubravka for his fifth goal in five league games.
The home team had plenty of possession and threatened repeatedly from the flanks but it took the introduction of substitute Andy Carroll to turn the game in their favor.
More used to attacking crosses than putting them in the box, Carroll lofted the ball in from thewing for Jonjo Shelvey to get up highest to plant the ball in at the far post and even out the scores in the 68th minute.
Roared on by the home crowd, the Magpies went looking for awinner and it came as full time approached when Sean Longstaff's shot from distance was fumbled by Alex McCarthy butFernandezwas on hand to thump the ball into the back of the net.
Newcastleboss Steve Bruce creditedstriker Carroll, who has yet to score following his summer return to the club where he made his name, with turning things around for his side.
