Newcastle U18's 3 Manchester City 1

Saturday, September 5, 2009

Goals from Brad Inman and Sam Ameobi 2

Coach Kenny Wharton said afterwards:

"This was an excellent answer to last week's 5-0 defeat at Watford. We had been flat after the two defeats, 2-1 at home to Villa when we didn't deserve to lose, and at Watford when we got a lesson We worked very hard after Watford and had some long sessions and it paid off. We also had important players back in the side."
