Young Magpies knocked out of FA Youth Cup after five-goal thriller

Newcastle United were knocked out of the FA Cup at Norwich City on Tuesday night despite twice coming from behind at Carrow Road.

The Canaries took the lead in the fourth minute when Tony Springett and Thomas Dickson-Peters combined to set up Josh Martin, but Neil Winskill's side levelled matters in the 26th minute through Dylan Stephenson after a strong run.

Kain Reed then thought he'd put Newcastle ahead as he finished from Joe White's slide-rule pass, only for the assistant referee's flag to go up when the Magpies man looked to be onside.

Ten minutes later, Martin got his and Norwich's second of the night, but United equalised again in the 41st minute when Reed headed home from a corner.

Both sides had opportunities in the second half but with nine minutes of normal time remaining, Martin got his hat-trick with a fine curling effort to knock Newcastle out of the competition and hand City a fourth round tie against Manchester United or Lincoln City.

Newcastle United Under-18s: Will Brown, Joe Oliver, Tom Midgley, Lucas de Bolle, Jude Swailes, Lucas Gamblin, Dylan Stephenson, Joe White, Kain Reed (Josh Harrison 72), Elliot Anderson, Josh Scott (Josh Gilchrist 78)

Subs not used: Lewis Brannen, Oliver Marshall, Jamie Miley, Josh Nicholson, Bobby Clark
