U18s report: Newcastle United 2-3 Arsenal

We booked our place in the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup after edging out Newcastle United in a five-goal thriller at St James’ Park on Tuesday night.

In the midst of freezing temperatures on Tyneside, we started the game well and were inches away from taking the lead through Amario Cozier-Duberry, but he curled his effort inches past the post.

Just a few moments later, Cozier-Duberry, who looked sharp all night down the right wing, cut inside once again, but his effort only found the side netting.

We got our deserved opener after just 14 minutes when Seb Ferdinand poked home the rebound from close range following more exciting work from Cozier-Duberry.
