Newcastle United's Under-18 side showed resilience and spirit after coming from 2-1 down to reach the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup after a fantastic 3-2 win over Charlton Athletic Under-18s at the Valley last night.
Winger Ben Parkinson put the Magpies ahead after just 14 minutes when his effort was fired into the bottom corner from inside the box before Charlton drew level just on the stroke of halftime when a thumping strike from Daniel Kanu flew past Newcastle goalkeeper Patrick Casey.
The Addicks would find the lead just six minutes after the restart however, as Casey parried away a headed chance into the path of Charlton captain Tom Bower who slotted home the rebound.
