Woolston enjoys winning Man Utd U23 against former club Newcastle

Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Paul Woolston made a winning Manchester United debut against his old club yesterday.

United were described as a "“joy to watch"" afterwards by coach Ricky Sbragia.

Nishan Burkart opened the scoring after only three minutes and doubled the lead before Tahith Chong added a third in the 33rd minute.

The Tynesiders had no answer as Mason Greenwood curled in a beautiful free-kick and an own goal by Oliver Walters compounded the hosts' misery.

Woolston, on his maiden Premier League 2 start for the Reds, enjoyed a clean sheet for the 5-0 win.
