Saturday saw Newcastle and Burnley meet in PL2, Sean Neave's brace earning his side their first home win of the campaign and only their second in the league anywhere this season so far.

The fixture was staged at United's Little Benton academy, rather than the usual venue of nearby Whitley Park. The Magpies included goalkeeper Max Thompson and full back Alex Murphy following Champions League bench duty.

There was also an outing for full back Harrison Ashby and a appearance of the season for attacker Ben Parkinson after recovering from injury. 

Following a quiet opening to the contest, Sean Neave's shot from the edge of the area clipped the top of the Clarets' crossbar in the tenth minute.

Neave then put United ahead ten minutes before the break; fouled in the box for a penalty and sending Oisin Cooney the wrong way from 12 yards.

Thompson then preserved that lead either side of half time; getting down well to save a deflected effort from Joe Bevan on 43 minutes and pulling off an even better stop to deny Vernon Masara when he was clean through after 51 minutes.

The Newcastle custodian was powerless to prevent Burnley from levelling on 58 minutes however - a speculative shot from Bevan looking to be going wide before it took a deflection off Cathal Heffernan and found the net.

Burnley then took the lead just five minutes later, when a corner kick from the left wing was nodded down by Hannes Delcroix for Jesse Williams to net from close range.

Back came the black and whites though and good work by midfielder Anthony Munda gave substitute Joe Brayson an opportunity to turn and shoot into the corner of the net with 11 minutes of normal time remaining.

Neave then struck in the second minute of added time; registering his ninth U21 goal this season in all competitions when latching on to a right wing cross from Alfie Harrison and finishing well.
