Jude Smith made his club debut following a recent move from East Fife.

The Magpies' second string began their 2019/20 campaign in similar style, suffering a trio of losses in their first three league games.

Michael Ndiweni and Matty Bondswell were absent due to suspension, following red cards in United's previous U21 game against Stoke City.

Newcastle U21s remain pointless after their three PL2 games, sliding to defeat in Norfolk on Sunday.

Elliot Dickman's side found themselves three goals behind after 45 minutes at City's Colney training centre - after Tyrese Omotoye, Abu Kamara and Tom Dickson-Peters all found a way past debutant goalkeeper Jude Smith - who also saved a 30th minute penalty from Dickson-Peters.

The Magpies introduced Santiago Munoz at the interval and almost immediately he set up Dylan Stephenson to score. Within ten minutes though the Canaries had restored their three goal advantage, through Jaden Warner.

Jay Turner-Cooke converted a 70th minute penalty kick for United after City's Sean Stewart dismissed for deliberate handball, but that was the end of the scoring, as former Magpie Alan Neilson saw his City side collect three points.
