Goalkeeper Alex Bass scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner as Sunderland Under-21s came from behind to draw 1-1 with Newcastle Under-21s at St James’ Park.
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.
