Newcastle United Under-21s are on the brink of elimination from the Papa John's Trophy in the group stages - despite a brave effort against Barnsley at Oakwell tonight.
United battled hard without creating any clear-cut chances but were just 10 minutes away from taking the game to penalties in Group E. However, late goals for the Tykes mean Elliott Dickman's side must now beat Lincoln City in their final group match and hope Doncaster beat Barnsley in the other match.
It was a disappointing night for Newcastle after they edged possession and outpassed their opponents but managed just two shots on target.
