Stats

A Magpies XI had played at Champion Hill previously, the U18s defeating Dulwich Hamlet 6-2 in the FA Youth Cup back in 2011.

United's second string registered a first Premier League Cup success at the fifth time of asking on Monday, scoring twice in added time to end their seven game winless run in all competitions.

Fresh from his outing for the senior side on Saturday, Lewis Miley scored at the end of both halves, sandwiching a goal from fellow first team graduate Jay Turner-Cooke. 

Playing at the Champion Hill ground of non-league Dulwich Hamlet, United survived several scares before going ahead in the 44th minute.

Turner-Cooke played in 16 year-old Miley and his low shot beat Owen Goodman with the aid of a slight deflection to give Elliott Dickman's side an interval advantage.

That lead lasted for just eight minutes of the second period however, before goalkeeper Jude Smith parried a shot but was unable to prevent Killian Phillips from converting the rebound.

A more even contest then saw chances at both ends; Dylan Stephenson and Turner-Cooke coming close and Phillips striking the goal frame.

United's Charlie Wiggett made a timely block to deny Ademola Ola-Adebomi on 73 minutes, but the Eagles went ahead three minutes later when Phillips grabbed his second of the day.

That looked to have consigned the black and whites to a seventh successive reverse, but one manic minute in added time changed all of that.

First of all a ball into the box broke to Turner-Cooke, who fired home at the near post in the 93rd minute.

And within seconds, Harry Barclay's pass gave Lewis Miley sight of goal and he controlled the ball before turning and crashing his drive high into the net to ensure victory.

With one game remaining in the group stage, United are doomed to finish in fourth and last place - but have at least halted their winless run ahead of January's return to PL2 action.

They'll recommence at home to Aston Villa - the first of ten games remaining in which to try and keep up with the promotion-hunting sides in the second tier. 

It's that Mag again, GW
