Harrison Ashby and Ryan Fraser both scored as Newcastle United U21s earned their first league win since October. The young Magpies squandered an early three-goal lead, but a fine Lewis Miley strike sealed a 4-3 victory over Norwich City at Little Benton.
Ben Dawson named four changes from the side who played out a goalless draw with Middlesbrough at St James' Park last time out. Ashby and Fraser were both joined in the starting eleven by Nathan Carlyon and Michael Ndiweni, with Jamie Miley dropping to the bench and Ben Parkinson and Ciaran Thompson dropping to the bench.
The young Magpies flew out of the traps and raced into a three-goal lead before the half-hour mark. Ashby and Fraser combined well for the winger to open the scoring, with the January signing doubling the lead minutes later.
