There was a competitive reserve team debut from the bench for Lewis Brannen,
while Stan Flaherty scored his first goals for us at this level.
Newcastle's U23 side recorded their first victory
of the season on Friday, overcoming Steve Stone's Clarets
at the Lancashire FA HQ in Leyland.
Ahead through Stan Flaherty's 32nd minute free kick, United were
pegged back five minutes before half time when Max Thompson beat
Will Brown.
Almost immediately, Burnley's Jake Rooney was forced into a
goal-line clearance to deny Jack Young.
Giant defender Ludwig Francillette did regain the lead for the
visitors on 62 minutes, before Flaherty's second of the game made it
3-1 to Newcastle.
Ashley Barnes then missed the chance to reduce the arrears, smashing
his 79th minute penalty kick off the post after substitute Joe
McGlynn was impeded in the box.
