Newcastle United U21s picked up their first win of the season after a four-goal thrashing Derby County at Whitley Park. Both sides had lost their opening three fixtures, but the Magpies are now off the mark courtesy of braces from Kyle Crossley and Dylan Stephenson.
Elliott Dickman made four changes from the side who lost at Norwich City on Sunday, with Joe White making his first start of the season. Matty Bondswell and Michael Ndiweni returned following suspensions, with Nathan Carlyon also coming back into the defence.
The Magpies were rewarded for a strong start when Dylan Stephenson netted his second goal in as many games after only eight minutes. This advantage was quickly doubled by Kyle Crossley, who curled a fine effort beyond Harrison Foulkes.
