Newcastle Loan Report: Only Sammy Ameobi Advances To Next Round Of League Cup As Cardiff Beat Wimbledon

4. Sammy Ameobi (Cardiff City)

Sammy Ameobi made his first competitive start for Cardiff City and helped the Bluebirds to a 1-0 win over Wimbledon that earned them a place in the next round.

The winger was substituted after 73 minutes but will have been pleased with his contribution. The 23-year-old made a number of dribbles down the left-hand-side and was unlucky not to open the scoring after making a superb run and shot that was saved well just before half time.

Ameobi will be hoping to have done enough to persuade Cardiff boss, Russell Slade that he is ready to start against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
