Jonas Gutierrez struck for Newcastle United U21s last night.

The 31-year-old Newcastle winger curled a 20-yard shot into the top corner for the club's Under 21s during their 1-1 draw with Bolton on Monday night.

Jonas, who has recovered from testicular cancer, would have done his claims for a first senior outing since October, 2013 no harm at all with a fine goal and energetic display in front of watching caretaker boss John Carver.

He said: "The most important thing is to get fit and play games.

"Of course, you always want to win, but for me it's about trying to get fit and do the best in training and give 100 per cent."
