The 'mistake' exciting Newcastle striker needs to bounce back from quickly after 'harsh' lesson

Promising Newcastle United striker Michael Ndiweni needs to learn from his 'mistake' after being sent off in his first start of the season. That is the view of U21 head coach Elliott Dickman, who feels the teenage forward needs to learn from the 'harsh' dismissal.

The young Magpies were reduced to nine men as they lost their second straight match of the campaign on Monday night. Ben Kershaw's stunning long-range strike decided the match, although the hosts did continue to push for an equaliser despite the red cards for both Ndiweni and Matty Bondswell.

Ndiweni scored off the bench in the opening-day defeat to West Brom, and was rewarded with a start alongside Santiago Munoz. The 18-year-old was booked in the first-half after sliding for the ball and accidentally colliding with Daniel Malone.
