Joey Barton made his return at Central Avenue in Billingham (of all places) to as Newcastle reserves beat Boro reserves 4-1.

James Marwood scored with a low drive after just four minutes.

Andy Carroll, who played ten minutes on Monday night against Man City, put Newcastle two up with a header.

Richard Smallwood beat Tim Krul to give Boro a chance at 2-1.

But Newcastle's two goal lead was restored when Godsmark's effort was turned past his own goalkeeper by John Johnson.

Godsmark set up Nile Ranger for number four.

Newcastle United: Krul; Edgar (Capt), Kadar (Lough 62), Barton (Inman 80), Tozer, Morris, Godsmark, Doninger, Ranger, Carroll (McCrudden 74), Marwood. Unused subs: Ferguson (gk); Ameobi, McDermott.
