Santiago Munoz marked his Newcastle United Under-23 home debut with a goal on an enthralling night of action at St James' Park against West Bromwich Albion. But the Mexican youth international's first goal since arriving from Santos Laguna last summer was barely half the story.
After going 2-0 down in the first half, Newcastle roared back to lead 3-2, almost threw it away near the end at 3-3 then won it in stoppage time. The victory means Newcastle remain on course for a Premier League 2 play-off spot as goals from Niall Brookwell, Nathan Carlyon and Josh Scott keep them in contention.
A crazy night started with a Matty Bondswell cross on seven minutes forcing West Brom goalkeeper Mac Chisholm into a claim at his back post as United started to ask questions of the visiting defence. Bondswell then got forward again moments later, combining with Josh Scott, before Isaac Westendorf headed over from close range.
