Newcastle have included Cheick Tiote's son as the mascot for their Carabao Cup semi-final against Arsenal.

The Magpies welcomed Rafael for the match against the Gunners as they sought to seal a place in the final.

His inclusion comes on the 14th anniversary of his late father's famous goal against Arsenal.

Tiote memorably scored a stunning, 30-yard volley to complete one of the great Premier League comebacks.

Newcastle earned a 4-4 draw at home to Arsenal having been 4-0 down at half time back in 2011.

It was Tiote's only goal for the club during his seven years at St James' Park, during which time he made 156 appearances.
