Newcastle United U21s snatched a dramatic late point as they bowed out of the Premier League Cup with a home draw to Bristol City. Seb Palmer-Holden's penalty looked to have the Robins on course for victory, only for Amadou Diallo to equalise in added time with a stunning curled effort.
Ben Dawson named five changes from the team who suffered a heavy away defeat at Southampton in their most recent outing. Matt Bondswell, Kyle Crossley, Lewis Miley, Michael Ndiweni, and Charlie Wiggett all came into the side with captain Alex Murphy and Jay Turner-Cooke among those to miss out.
The young Magpies controlled much of the contest, but struggled to create chances throughout and looked on course for another defeat when Palmer-Holden scored in the 74th minute. City were then reduced to 10 men when Dylan Kadji was dismissed for a late challenge of Nathan Carlyon, and this numerical advantage was made to count in injury time.
