It's now six PL2 games without a win for Newcastle's U21 side, who had the misfortune to come up against an expensively-assembled Chelsea side at a chilly Whitley Park on Friday evening.

Making a rare visit to Tyneside at this level, the Blues were in search of their fourth successive away victory as they looked to break into the top four places. 

The visitors went ahead from their first serious attack; Dylan Williams exchanging passes on the left of the box with Ronnie Stutter and netting after seven minutes.

There was a swift response from the hosts when an awful clearance by visiting 'keeper Teddy Sharman-Lowe fell to Trevan Sanusi who strode forward before tucking his shot into the far corner  in the ninth minute - the 16 year-old registering his second PL2 goal of the week.

Chelsea regained their lead on 16 minutes after another lightning break upfield; Zain Silcott-Duberry whipping in a low centre from the right flank that Stutter stuck home from close range.

The Londoners then extended their advantage just 24 seconds into the second half when poor marking allowed Leo Castledine to blast home from inside the box.

Castledine then added a fourth five minutes later when he fired a ball across the six yard box from the left into the roof of the net from point-blank range.

It was 1-5 in the 83rd minute when substitute and ex-NUFC trialist, Dujuan Richards, beat Will Brown with a stylish low curling finish.

The half dozen came from the penalty spot in the fourth minute of added time when Stutter got his second after Jimi Tauriainen was fouled and the seventh followed two minutes later through Diego Moreira's simple finish.

That final strike deep into injury time put United into unwanted and uncharted territory; conceding seven times for the first time in the PL Reserve era.

The final score matched a 1-7 loss at Aston Villa back in October 1986, while the last home reserve defeat of a similar magnitude came against Wolves in August 1977. Both were in the Central League.

The Magpies are one adrift at the bottom of the 26 team PL2 competition table, although they have games in hand on the six sides immediately ahead of them. There's no promotion or relegation.
