Elliott Dickman has demanded his side show more attitude and character after Newcastle United U21s fell to defeat a Leeds United. The young Magpies' six-match unbeaten league run came to an end with a 4-2 defeat the league leaders on Monday afternoon.
Kris Moore headed the hosts into the lead after just 50 seconds, but Josh Scott quickly levelled after capitalising on a pass from Jamie Miley. Newcastle withstood late pressure to go into the break level, but crumbled after the restart.
Max Dean bagged a second-half hat-trick in the space of just 18 minutes, and grabbed the first by pouncing on indecision from Harry Barclay to poke the ball past Jude Smith. The striker was then gifted a second just moments later, with a poor free-kick from Alex Murphy presenting the 18-year-old with an open goal.
