Goals from Phil Airey and Greg McDermott give Newcastle reserves a 2-1 win against Arsenal and put them top of the league.
Beardsley: “It’s still nice to be top.
“If they finish top of the group, then, it’ll be a massive thing.
“Our aim is to get people like Michael Richardson into the first team squad on a regular basis.
"For people like Shefki, Tim and Danny Guthrie to play, that is a massive plus.
“Phi Airey scores goals.
“The only surprise to me was that it was with his head! It’s probably the first time I’ve seen him head a ball!
“It just shows the determination and the character of the team – it’s fantastic here. It’s something you can’t give to people, it has to be inside you.”
