Newcastle's U23 side were in action on Monday, facing their Rotherham United counterparts on a training pitch adjacent to the Parkgate FC ground at Roundwood Pavilion, near Rawmarsh.

And Neil Redfearn's side made it two wins out of two in pre-season against one of his old clubs, thanks to late efforts from Rosaire Longelo and Oisin McEntee.

The game comprised of three thirty minute periods, the League One Millers fielding a predominantly senior starting XI that included on-loan Magpie Dan Barlaser for the opening period. 

Newcastle's Nathan Harker was the busier of the two 'keepers in the early stages but the first period ended scoreless before the visitors came close to breaking the deadlock when Jack Young's 32nd minute free kick led to Elias Sorensen angling his drive wide of the target.

Tom Allan then came rather closer on 43 minutes when Sorensen sent over a cross that Allan met only to see the home goalkeeper deny him from point blank range.

That proved to be the final meaningful action for both players, replaced by Rosaire Longelo and Victor Fernandez - the latter making his comeback after injury sidelined him last season.

Making his entrance shortly after was debutant Kyle Scott, on the day that the former Chelsea midifelder's permanent move to Tyneside was confirmed.

And it was Scott who helped make the breakthrough on 83 minutes, jinking into the box and seeing his centre rebound off an opponent to Longelo, who slammed his eight yard effort through the goalkeeper's legs.

Newcastle sealed victory in the last minute, when Oisin McEntee  - back from representing Ireland at the U19 European Championships - met a corner at the back post and shot in from close range.
