Full time: Newcastle U21s 0 Leeds United U21s 2

There was PL2 action at Whitley Park for the last time this season on Friday evening, as Newcastle U21s were beaten by their Leeds United counterparts.

After an incident-free first half when neither goalkeeper was troubled, the visitors went ahead thanks to a 67th minute penalty conversion by Luca Thomas.

A home player was apparently penalised for handball, but the offence was anything but obvious and given on the say-so of a linesman - match referee James Oldham closer to the incident and giving a goal kick.

Thomas then doubled that lead in the 80th minute when left unchallenged on the edge of the box to fire home - the visiting player adding to goals against Newcastle at junior level in the previous two seasons.

Newcastle's best chance of a goal had come at 0-0, when Alfie Harrison drew a save from Dani Van Den Heuvel and Kyle Crossley put the rebound into orbit.

Defeat left the Magpies second bottom of PL2 and means that with two games left, they cannot mathematically qualify for the end of season playoff.
