Not a good night as NUFC lose 4-0 to MUFC - here’s the match report.
FT: NEW 0-4 MUFC
MUFC beat NUFC 4-0, and it wasn’t the best of nights for the Magpies.
That’s 12 goals conceded in the opening three games for NUFC.
Aliou Toure fires wide...
Toure finds the space and shoots from the edge of the box - he drags it wide. Lucky escape for NUFC
Scott fouls...
The midfielder is fortunate here - already booked and he then brings down Anthony Elanga.
Longelo shoots on goal...
Longelo finds himself with room to shoot but it’s a good block. The resulting corner comes to nothing.
GOAL! MUFC! 0-4!
Garner drives homes to make it 4-0. May have taken a slight deflection but little Turner could do.
Waters is booked...
Another booking for NUFC as Walters is shown a yellow.
Discipline is lacking here - remember they’ve already had two sent off this season.
Joe White is coming on...
16-year-old Joe White is now on for Yannick Toure.
CHANCE! CHARMAN!
Victor Fernandez really is enjoying being back on the pitch - he skips past one challenge and then gets hacked down. He’s on the floor but right back to his feet and running towards goal.
Probably picks the wrong pass and he plays in Charman into the box, who fires wide.
Levitt gets booked for the challenge.
62 mins: MUFC hit the side netting
Very nearly four as Ramazani cuts in from the MUFC right and fires into the side netting.
61 mins: NEW 0-3 MUFC - CHARMAN FIRES OVER
This one is into orbit. Fernandez again twists and turns before feeding in Charman, he should hit this first time from the edge of the box but takes a couple of touches before firing into the stands.
Bad miss.
58 mins: NEW 0-3 MUFC! GOAL!
And Chong makes it 3-0 with a left foot drive into the net.
He’s been superb tonight, it’s his second of the game.
Charman shot is blocked...
Fernandez is again causing problems for NUFC - his cross finds Luke Charman who fires first time towards goal.
It’s blocked.
The resulting corner comes to nothing.
Williams fires wide...
Brilliant bit of play by MUFC - Chong plays it over the top to Williams, who brings it down, moves forward and then cuts inside. He takes a pop and it’s wide.
Mo Sangare on his last warning...
Mo Sangare was harshly booked in the first half but was lucky not to get his marching orders here.
He slides into a MUFC player, and he knows he’s lucky to not be shown a second yellow.
Attendance is 904.
Williams heads wide...
Another big chance for MUFC as Williams heads wide with the goal gaping.
Turner saves...
Garner finds himself through on goal and should score but it’s straight at Turner.
Sterry shoots on goal...
NUFC find space and move forward with Fernandez.
Eventually the ball finds the way to Sterry on the right, he skips past one and lines it up with his left but fires horribly wide.
Toure chases the ball down...
Nervous moment for Matej Kovar as he’s chased down by Toure.
The striker gets a foot on the ball but the goalkeeper just clears it.
Fernandez on goal...
The forward sees a sight of goal and cuts in - his shot is blocked.
HT: NEW 0-2 MUN
NUFC go into the break 2-0 down, and it’s harsh on the Magpies.
Goals from Chong and Ramazani give MUFC the lead.
Two goals in quick succession right after Charman had a chance to put NUFC 1-0 have left the Magpies shell-shocked.
The Magpies had done well despite being second best for large part of the game.
Turner heads clear...
NUFC are on the attack but Walters can’t get the better of the defence. The ball is sent long by Ramazani ,and GK Turner races out to head clear.
40 mins: Ramazani makes it 2-0
Largie Ramazani hits one on the turn to double the lead. Football is a cruel game. #nufc have an uphill task now.
LEE RYDER
38 mins: MUFC SCORE! CHONG
That man Chong fires in from the left.
NUFC slip behind as Chong fires low into the far corner. #mufc punish the home side moments after Charman misses a great chance.
LEE RYDER
Charman fires at goal...
If the number 10 gets a bet connection here, it’s 1-0.
Sterry with a superb ball from the right but Charman can’t connect and fires at the keeper.
Swailes blocks again...
It’s the 17-year-old’s debut and he’s having a good half so far.
He’s needed again to block from Chong who at six-yards out should do better.
Great block.
Sangare booked...
Lee O’Connor is down on the floor - and his reaction has prompted the referee into booking Mo Sangare.
30 mins: Andrew Musgrove's verdict
MUFC have been on top, and have seen most of the ball but NUFC are finding gaps every now and then.
Victor Fernandez had the best chance, firing over albeit from a tight angle.
The Magpies are being tested defensively with a couple of important blocks from Jude Swailes keeping the scores level.
NUFC’s success will come from down the wings.
MUFC fire over...
The ball finds it way to Teden Menge who fires over. NUFC not doing too badly so far.
