Newcastle United Under-18s returned to winning ways in the Under-18 Premier League North following a 4-1 away win against their Nottingham Forest counterparts on Saturday.
The young Magpies trailed inside two minutes at the Nigel Doughty Academy following Conor Brown's close-range finish before Jude Cogdon drew the visitors level, the 16-year-old midfielder's first goal at under-18 level.
Logan Watts, who netted his first goal for United's under-18 side against Middlesbrough last week, sent the Toon teenagers ahead on the stroke of half-time before doubling Newcastle's advantage towards the closing stages of the league encounter.
Teenage forward Joe Brayson ensured maximum points after bagging a stoppage-time penalty, the yougnster's fifth league goal of the 2023/24 campaign at under-18 level, to wrap up an impressive victory for Graeme Carrick's side.
Newcastle United Under-18s: Adam Harrison, Rory Powell, Carter Milmore, Luke Craggs, Logan Watts, Jude Cogdon (Guy Bloomer 80), Alex O'Donovan (Darren Palmer 56), Johnny Emerson, Matheos Ferreira, Sean Neave (Kacey Wooster 80), Joe Brayson (Johnson 90).
