Four first-team players were named in a strong Sunderland side, as Bass, Niall Huggins, Abdoullah Ba and Jay Matete all started.
Jewison Bennette also came off the bench, yet it was Newcastle who took the lead courtesy of Joe White’s first-half strike.
The hosts were also reduced to 10 men in the closing stages as Jay Turner-Cooke was sent off, before Bass scored from a corner at the death.
Here’s how the game played out:

Still 1-0.
79’ RED CARD
Newcastle are down to 10 men.
It all started after Bass held Stephenson’s deflected effort, before players came together inside the Sunderland box.
Turner-Cooke was then shown a second yellow card, while Bass has also been booked.
81’ More bookings
Now Westendorf and Bennette have both been booked after a coming together near the corner flag.
It’s been a lively few minutes.
84’ Westendorf makes way
After being booked moments earlier Westendorf is taken off as Michael Ndiweni comes on.
