was conifrmed as Amadou Diallo, a 19 year-old left-sided forward/winger
who was a
free agent after leaving West Ham last summer.
A former England youth international, Diallo spent time at
Chelsea recently without earning a contract and did little here in his
55 minute stint to suggest he'll be any more successful on Tyneside.
Newcastle U21s collected their first away point of the season on Friday
- but were denied victory by a 94th minute equaliser at Heritage Park.
United led at the interval thanks to a 36th minute strike from Dylan
Stephenson, who took Josh Scott's pass and beat 'keeper Max Metcalfe
from a tight angle.
Boro came close to levelling on 77 minutes when Mark Gillespie parried
Calum Kavanagh's shot into the path of Matthew Hoppe, who crashed the
rebound off the bar.
Maintaining a one goal advantage as five additional minutes were
signalled, four of those had elapsed when Boro snatched a point
following a goalmouth scramble, Joseph Gibson firing home from six yards
out.
A counter-attack in the final seconds by United then saw Jay
Turner-Cooke take possession in a dangerous position, only to blaze his
effort harmlessly wide.
