The Magpies had the better of the first half at the hosts' Thorp Arch training centre and deservedly went in front when Lucas Cooper finished off a fine move to register his first league goal at under-18 level.

Graeme Carrick's side couldn't quite hold on for victory, though, as Daniel Toulson's spectacular finish just two minutes after the restart levelled the scores and earned Leeds a point.

The result keeps United in tenth place in the Northern section of the Under-18 Premier League, with a Premier League Cup clash with Barnsley to come on Tuesday followed by a return to league action at home to Wolves on Saturday morning.

Newcastle United Under-18s: Aidan Harris, Rory Powell, Ciaran Thompson, Harry Powell, Dylan Charlton, Ollie Harrison, Scott Bailey, Darren Palmer, Lucas Cooper (Sean Neave 79), Ben Parkinson, Anthony Munda.

Subs not used: Taylor Ross, Logan Watts, Luke Craggs, Joe Brayson.
