Newcastle United U23s 0-4 Aston Villa U23s
A brilliant result for us on our travels against the side second in the group. The third time we have score four goals in a game in the opening five matches and a result that surely puts us on the way to the quarter finals.

Mads Bidstrup wasn't signed as a goal scorer but it was him that got us underway after just five minutes of the game and then again, him who doubled the lead after 25 minutes. He is now up to four goals and fast becoming a fan favourite. If he was an unlikely scorer of a brace then Ismail Boulegcha was even more so but it was him that added the third just after the half hour and then put the icing on the cake in the final minutes. The only disappointment is that we didn't score more having had nearly 75% possession and 17 shots. What is pleasing is we kept them to zero shots on target.

With that win we are four points clear at the top of the group and 7 inside the qualification spots with a vastly superior goal difference. Three more wins absolutely guarantees a spot in the next round but I reckon two will be enough if that. As we've always said - we want to get this done early so we can rotate the squad to preserve fitness and delay players rating up. We certainly are on track to manage that.
